I don't remember seeing anything like this before. Is this due to the patch? Should I be concerned? I know this is a pipe, but I've confirmed there is plenty of free disk space everywhere. The pipe does exist on the file system. There is plenty of free memory. Any suggestions? An early version of those patches did indeed cause problems such as the above.
