Hi Ken,
I got the ros core code from the ros1.2 branch again today and rebuilt it. It has the code from the patch you sent me and I can also confirm that the xmlrpc.py file does end with the code snippet from your email. The debug message on the console output now has more information and so does the log file for my rosnode. The console debug message for my node now says,

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/aarumbak/ros/ros/core/rospy/src/rospy/impl/tcpros_base.py", line 141, in run
    (client_sock, client_addr) = self.server_sock.accept()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/socket.py", line 197, in accept
    sock, addr = self._sock.accept()
socket.error: [Errno 4] Interrupted system call

    r, w, e = select.select([self], [], [], poll_interval)

I have also attached the log files with this email. Thanks a lot!
-Arjun.

Hi Arjun,

The necessary info is missing due to a bug in the call to the logger.
Can you try the attached patch?

Also, can you confirm that your roslib/src/roslib/xmlrpc.py ends with
the code block below?

thanks,
Ken

       while not self.is_shutdown:
           try:
               self.server.serve_forever()
           except IOError as (errno, errstr):
               # check for interrupted call, which can occur if we're
               # embedded in a program using signals.  All other
               # exceptions break _run.
               if self.is_shutdown:
                   pass
               elif errno != 4:
                   self.is_shutdown = True
                   logger.error("serve forever IOError: %s,
%s"%(errno, errstr))
                   raise
           except:
               if self.is_shutdown:
                   pass
               else:
                   raise
