Strange Log Error... not from my program.

In case anyone else might have this happen to them.

While debugging, I started receiving "Fatal signal 13 (SIGPIPE)" notifications in the log.

I didn't see any errors in my application manifesting, but wanted to make sure that I didn't have errors popping up!

Initial investigation sounded as though this error meant that timers (incorrectly handled) were potentially at fault. So, I cleaned up all the code that involved timers and animation events... eventually commenting all of them out of the code.

Still "Fatal signal 13 (SIGPIPE)" kept showing up.

Then I tried a blank program... and wala! "Fatal signal 13 (SIGPIPE)"

So, re-booted phone and connected, and again "Fatal signal 13 (SIGPIPE)", so something else was sending this code. I traced it back to a live-wallpaper that I was using (haven't had that message again), and put back all the timers and animations into my code.

Several hours wasted, but if I ever see a strange message in the LOG, (with no associated behavior that I can see in my program), to double check it against another device.
