The "Unhandled Error" (as opposed to the usual "Unhandled Error in Deferred") means that something called twisted's log.err() with a Failure or Exception, but nothing else (in particular not a why= argument). This is a pretty common (perhaps unfortunate) pattern in our code: tahoe has roughly 47 such calls, and Foolscap has about 29. So we don't really know what caught the exception (and therefore what ought to be handling it differently). The exception itself was a DeadReferenceError, caused by a connection being replaced while a remote call was outstanding. And most of the remote calls were get_version, which we do immediately after a getReference or connectTo completes (with one extra RIUploadHelper upload() call). The Dirty Reactor Error indicates that something failed to shut down a Tub in the error path.
I'm not really sure what's going on here. It feels like the client is being bounced while it's in the middle of making some connections, as if we're not waiting for the client to finish starting up before we shut it down again. It also feels like there are some log.err() calls that should be replaced with the less-serious log.msg(), since they don't really justify flunking the tests. (Any log.err will flunk a test, unless the test specifically checks for and discards them).
Throwing a log.err at the end of a Deferred chain when you don't really care about it anymore is pretty convenient and safe (you won't be losing information about unexpected errors). But it's still a sort of "XXX this point is never reached" sort of marker. Having them get invoked during tests might suggest that control is actually reaching those points.

- Description modified (diff)
Hm that stack trace in the final [ERROR] in comment:1 shows that connectionDropped is getting fired twice:
alternate hosting of same file:
This reminds me of #653, in which we determined that most likely there is a bug in foolscap which causes notifyOnDisconnect to not get called sometimes when it should get called. Putting these two together, it makes me think that foolscap can currently err on both sides — double-invoking a "respond to disconnect" event sometimes (but we've seen this only on Windows) and zero-invoking it other times.
As I've mentioned before, I really think "responding to disconnect events" is a losing game. To me it smells like "clean shutdown logic" in an app. It tends to be buggy, it is labor-intensive to implement and debug it, and it can never be 100% correct (because shutdowns of an app are sometimes hard and because disconnections of a network are sometimes undetectable).
So my preference for "crash-only programming" (in which you don't expend engineering effort trying to design and implement the "clean shutdown" case) is perhaps related to my preference for "crash-only networking", in which you assume that your application won't get a reliable notification of disconnect, and you don't expend engineering effort trying to deliver one.
So I would be somewhat more interested in removing "respond to disconnect events" features from foolscap and from Tahoe-LAFS (see #816, #1975) than in debugging this. However, I'm definitely not very happy with the current situation, where the unit tests sometimes spuriously (??) fail on Windows due to this probable bug in foolscap.

I think #1757 was a duplicate of this.

In tests there should be no unexpected disconnections anyway, right? So is the cause of the disconnection just Windows networking being flaky, or do similar errors happen on other platforms?

Replying to daira:
In tests there should be no unexpected disconnections anyway, right? So is the cause of the disconnection just Windows networking being flaky, or do similar errors happen on other platforms?
I don't think it happens on any other platform.
The reason that I'm looking at this right now is that Nathan has submitted a patch #1659, but that patch needs to be tested on Windows, and the buildbot is currently not running tests on Windows, possibly due to this issue.

This may be the same error: https://gist.github.com/merickson/27bbaf793c2eff7bae49

This is a similar failure, on Ubuntu 12.04 Precise, not Windows: https://travis-ci.org/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs/jobs/142880571
