To be clear, this is NOT a crash ( in Java terms ).

The exception, " java.io.EOFException: EOF reached while reading”,
that you are seeing is conveying the message that and unexpected
end-of-file(stream) has been reached while received data. This
appears to be correct as per Joacim’s observation.

Silently ignoring, or otherwise not reporting, the unexpected EOF,
would be incorrect and considered a bug.
