Asynchat is part of the python medusa modules. These are asyncore and
asynchat on which ZServer is built. Asynchat is for 'chat style
protocols', according to its documentation. The error message means
ZServer quits one of its channels (zhttp_channel, handled in asynchat)
because of a socket error (bad file descriptor). The cause of this error
escapes me. Perhaps you can provide us with more details as to when this
happened and under which circumstances (that is, someone else on the
list...)?
