Thanks for the reply!

Sorry for the long delay in reply, I suddenly got really busy last week... :-)

If this does end up being a recoverable error, how do I go about replacing 
them? They were created in the constructor for DefaultListeningIOReactor. Do I 
need to call shutdown on the ioRector instance and create a new one?

I definitely want to know why. I will be following up with the NIO list. I hope 
I don't have to go to Sun... :-/

This may end up being a fatal error, and the "handling" may be to restart the 
app, or even a reboot. However, without knowing that there was even a problem, 
I couldn't do even that until I get a phone call that notifications are not 
going through. That would remove a couple 9's from my uptime. :-) I'll check 
out the new IOReactorExceptionHandler. Knowing there was an error is definitely 
the first step.
