cat: write error: Connection reset by peer
I have created a script to cat the contents of a log file and pipe it to head and tail so I can get specific lines.
When I do this I sometimes randomly get the error
"cat: write error: Connection reset by peer". It is completely sporatic and sometimes it doesnt happen and sometimes it does but it means therefore the output of the script is unreliable.
Here is the code I am using where tmpfile is the name of the file im cat'ing and errorstartline is the line number in the file I want to load into the "line" variable.
line=`cat $TMPFILE | head -$ERRORSTARTLINE | tail -1`
I initially thought this was because the TMPFILE was on another mount so I added some code to cp the file to the same dir as the script and then cat but it made no difference.
Has anyone seen this error or can anyone recommend an alternative way of getting a specified line out of the log file. The log file isnt that large I dont think so not sure why I am seeing this issue.

cat(1) General Commands Manual cat(1)
Name
cat - concatenate and print data
Syntax
cat [ -b ] [ -e ] [ -n ] [ -s ] [ -t ] [ -u ] [ -v ] file...
Description
The command reads each file in sequence and displays it on the standard output. Therefore, to display the file on the standard output you
type:
cat file
To concatenate two files and place the result on the third you type:
cat file1 file2 > file3
To concatenate two files and append them to a third you type:
cat file1 file2 >> file3
If no input file is given, or if a minus sign (-) is encountered as an argument, reads from the standard input file. Output is buffered in
1024-byte blocks unless the standard output is a terminal, in which case it is line buffered. The utility supports the processing of 8-bit
characters.
Options
-b Ignores blank lines and precedes each output line with its line number.
-e Displays a dollar sign ($) at the end of each output line.
-n Precedes all output lines (including blank lines) with line numbers.
-s Squeezes adjacent blank lines from output and single spaces output.
-t Displays non-printing characters (including tabs) in output. In addition to those representations used with the -v option, all tab
characters are displayed as ^I.
-u Unbuffers output.
-v Displays non-printing characters (excluding tabs and newline) as the ^x. If the character is in the range octal 0177 to octal 0241,
it is displayed as M-x. The delete character (octal 0177) displays as ^?. For example, is displayed as ^X.
