SYSERR(root): putbody: write error: Broken pipe

[Joe R. Jah]

Hello,

I have a box running FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE-p6.  At the end of startup the
system spits seven or more lines to the console:

# tail -8 /var/log/messages
Nov 24 13:38:06 cloudy kernel: bce0: link state changed to UP
Nov 24 13:38:12 cloudy sm-mta[732]: mAO8nlmu018313: SYSERR(root): putbody: write error: Broken pipe
Nov 24 13:38:12 cloudy sm-mta[732]: mAO1Yeec000932: SYSERR(root): putbody: write error: Broken pipe
Nov 24 13:38:18 cloudy sm-mta[732]: mANDA7Vr051303: SYSERR(root): putbody: write error: Broken pipe
Nov 24 13:38:18 cloudy sm-mta[732]: mAM8jXWx033167: SYSERR(root): putbody: write error: Broken pipe
Nov 24 13:38:18 cloudy sm-mta[732]: mAL8nNii015423: SYSERR(root): putbody: write error: Broken pipe
Nov 24 13:38:18 cloudy sm-mta[732]: mAKDFDxL019571: SYSERR(root): putbody: write error: Broken pipe
Nov 24 13:38:18 cloudy sm-mta[732]: mAK8nxOL017816: SYSERR(root): putbody: write error: Broken pipe

The first two or three lines always come six seconds after the network
changes to UP, and six seconds later the other five or more lines come
out.

Please advise.

Regards,

Joe
