Description
#### Version information:
go-ipfs version: 0.4.22-rc1-39a71fe75
Repo version: 7
System version: amd64/linux
Golang version: go1.12.7
#### Description:
**To reproduce:**
1. Create a directory with several reasonably sized files.
2. Use `chmod` to make one of these files unreadable.
3. Try adding the directory.
**Expected results:**
IPFS fails with something like "failed to read file X"
**Actual results:**
> Error: read tcp 192.168.0.116:33916->192.168.0.165:5001: use of closed network connection
**Cause:**
This is due to an upstream bug: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/11745. The real error is getting swallowed by a different error.
