Hmm, I could not find this error message in the scotty 2.1.7 sources.
Maybe it's garbled by mixed stdout/stderr channels, but i found
nothing appropriate.

Maybe you can help us with a description of your platform and the
version of scotty you use.

A wild guess:

If you are running this on a Solaris platform, it may be the SIGPIPE
signal delivered, after a ECONNREFUSED is returned by a connect call
to a unix-socket.

Then you should follow the manpage and close the socket and rego (or
the tnm extension should do this ;-).

However, the better solution would be to increase the backlog of the
listen call in straps itself.

But this is a guess and it maybe completely wrong.
