The line which may cause this is:
find $mp -follow -newer $db | read -t 1 line
that is somehow the read builtin of the bash dies before find is finished here.
IMHO read does not DIE, but it may run into the specified TIMEOUT of one second when the load is a bit high. Effectively the code was not testing whether find returned something, but it timed out find via broken pipe, causing a write error. (In reply to Ulrich Windl from comment #0)

Nevertheless as this does not hurt I'll decrease severity (I wonder why this is priority "enhancement") Of course not updating the mandb is not serious, but seen from the perspective of the code it was just wrong (and thus is a bug).
