well it's the first I've heard of it. it has been working for many
people just fine.

This isn't nice, the read returned IO error which is a fatal error, and
thats why ices2 terminated. If this always occurs when a signal is sent
then the driver is broken wrt signal handling. Check to see if there are
any fixes to the driver first.
