This is the well-known "multiple-listener bug". Matt and I spent hours
scouring the code trying to discover what kind of situation led to this
condition. However, it turned out that it is actually a problem with the
Linux implementation of Java.  With hours of use on Windows, Linux and
Solaris, we have only had this problem on Linux, and it also only seems to
happen when bandwidth is tight-- that is, it never happens when I'm
listening to a Linux server locally. It only occurs when I'm accessing it
remotely, and especially when my bandwidth is insufficient to play the
stream. I suspect that we could find a bug report filed with Sun on this
issue. Hopefully a newer version of the J2SE or perhaps even glibc will
solve the problem.
