On my system (Debian Woody Linux) it means:

  #define EIO 5  /* I/O error */

errno's are typically over(ab)used on *nix. You would have to
check the manual page of the actual system call that returned
the error to see what it means precisely.

>It happens when writing to 'sys.stderr'. 

And what is sys.stderr at that point? What platform are you
running on? What does your code look like, that raises this
error?
