Are you sure you did the -f on strace?  Because you should have seen the write 
corresponding to that read since that message should have come from a child.

If the write is there and you just left it out, then that's where you start 
looking.  You see what might have prompted the error, what file descriptor it 
involved, and what the history of the file descriptor is.

If you want, send me a hunk of that strace output, like from one of those 
reads to the next, and I'll see what I can see in it.
