Thanks for getting that done over a weekend. Much appreciated.

Don't worry, the exception isn't an error. It is an exception created
(but not thrown) by the debug code so we can see the call stack when the
socket was closed. It is the result of something like:

log.debug("Message goes here", new Exception());

I was hoping to see some unexpected code calling close() - no luck. All
the calls to close were exactly what I would expect from normal
operations. v3 will provide more insight on the I/O operations. Fingers
crossed that sheds some light on what is triggering this socket closure.
