Not quite. The newsserver "jupiter" complains that as server process 
while receiving news ("innd:") the connection to the feed site 
"news.changed.net" on channel "24" failed because of a broken pipe. 
Server-server connections are assumed to be stable even if they aren't 
always. Jupiter may have lost news from news.changed.net because of this.
