In my case the problem occurred frequently enough that I've been forced
to change my build procedures to avoid it.  I'd welcome a debug patch.

Since apparently no debugging patch is forthcoming, maybe it's time to
test the simple revert of commit 699390354da.

I apologize for the delay.

Here's a debug patch which I hope will narrow down the circumstances of
this error condition.

Regards,
Peter Hurley

PS - Don't get excited about EIO from read() which you will see during
boot. That's expected when the slave closes and the master is parked on
a blocking read().
