Like the title says, I've started to see "Software caused connection abort" errors from my mod_perl scripts on print statements.

The thing is, there are no external issues, and I haven't changed, well, anything that I know of, to get these errors to start. I'd have never known had I not checked the logs. Of every, say, thousand executions of these scripts, it throws one error - and it still works and outputs just fine.

However, I'm afraid that I'm missing something here, that will end up messing things up.

Any ideas?

Edit Update: What I'm looking for, I guess, is "what does this error mean"..
Further info edit: This error only started showing up after these three 'emergency security patches' were added to the system:
RHEL5: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-1222.html
RHEL4: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-1223.html
RHEL3: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-1233.html
