    I was wondering if anyone has found a fix, a good explanation,
    or even a "Fixed in R4" comment.

I suspect various bugs fall under "XIO error".  As I recall, one was the OS
writev returning an error code the server didn't expect, in another it may have
been buggy socket code, but there were also a couple of bugs relating to
zero-length reads and writes in the R3 server code.  I believe the R4 server
will not have these problems, but we're not in a position to get out patches
at this point, too much has changed since R3.
