DEBUG o.atmosphere.cpr.DefaultBroadcaster Failed to execute a write operation for Broadcaster

There is some scenarios where more than one thread start executing a broadcast operation. If the first thread broadcast and the connection is resumed by the browser or the server (closed), a WebServer can throw an exception like:

This exception is expected and properly handled by Atmosphere. The message may have been lost so it will be cached inside a BroadcasterCache (if one is installed). Most of the time the message will have been delivered successfully.
