*** -[NSConcreteFileHandle availableData]: Invalid argument

I'm periodically getting this message

*** -[NSConcreteFileHandle availableData]: Invalid argument

printed to the console of an application I'm working on. I'm confused about what it means because availableData doesn't take an argument.

Here's what I'm doing: I'm using NSFileHandle to handle socket communications with a remote server. I create an old-fashioned network socket, allocate an NSFileHandle, feed it the socket using initWithFileDescriptor:, and then use readInBackgroundAndNotify after specifying to receive NSFileHandleReadCompletionNotifications. The odd thing is that despite this error getting printed in the console, my code is working as expected - I am getting data from the file handle and the data appears to be 100% correct.

My call back method looks like this:

- (void)updateStatusCallback:(id) notification
{
NSFileHandle *fh = [notification object];
NSData *data = [fh availableData]; // <----- This call generates the message in the console sometimes... but it works
NSString *theString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];


  // code to process the response
}

In the debugger, I see no difference in fh between calls that generate the message and those that don't - it's always an NSConcreteFileHandle with a positive file descriptor. This message show up rougly about 10% of the time that the callback gets called, although it's not consistent.

Thanks in advance!
Jeff
