Got "broken pipe" exception

I am using Edi's libraries like drakma, chunga based on usocket-0.3.5.
As this looks more like a general network question and might not be
related to Edi's libraries, I am asking it here looking for any ideas
why it might be happening.
Basically I form an http-request to some server and at times it gives
me the "broken pipe" exception.
I read that this exception happens when the server terminates the
connection on its end and the client still tries to use the socket.
I am wondering if you guys had it and how did you go about fixing it?
Could it be just because the server to which I am trying to connect
just dis-behaves? Or could it the some unstable network connection
related to my router (linksys) or NIC?
I am using linux 2.6 kernel (debian), sbcl 1.0.11 and the latest
drakma related libraries.

Any ideas are welcome!
Andrew
