Ah sorry. I had never heard of strace and a Google gave me
http://www.liacs.nl/~wichert/strace/ as the "Strace home page".  This says:

<QUOTE>
Linux kernel patches

Unfortunately the stock Linux kernel does not allow strace to do everything
it wants. You can get some kernel patches here to fix that.
</QUOTE>

However, I've looked again.  I run Mandrake 7.1 and there is an strace rpm
in the distro, so I suppose the kernel is already patched.

Therefore, here is the info you asked for.  I am not getting an explicit
"Broken Pipe" error now.  The fetch just stops.

Here is the last bit of the output:

And here is the last bit of the strace log:
