PGCopyOutputStream close() v. endCopy()

This is a repost of original on pgsql-general.

As is often the case, I'm unsure of which of these methods to use, or if I'm using them correctly.

PG10.5, jooq-3.10.8, postgresql-42.1.4, linux (redhat 6.9) and logback to a file.

I have been using close() for a while but thought I would make use of either the returned long from endCopy() or perhaps getHandledRowCount().

Both work perfectly, but when I use endCopy() I always get the exception shown near the bottom of this log excerpt. The COPY is on its own thread from the same connection as the direct jooq writes also listed.  Again, the data is all saved but I am worried that I'm not closing properly even if I use close(). The data here doesn't warrant bulk copy but it's just a quick example to repeat.

The class doing the bulk work, PayloadWriterThread extends Thread, the thread name is set from the caller, itself in an executor, with the critical parts as follows:

    @Override
    public void run() {
        try (PGCopyOutputStream writer = new PGCopyOutputStream(copyIn)) {
            long startAt = System.currentTimeMillis();
            deliverSegments(writer);
            long postDeliver = System.currentTimeMillis();
            logger.debug("staged in {} ms", postDeliver - startAt);
        }
        catch (SQLException sqle) {
            sqle.printStackTrace();
            logger.error("{}: sql trouble", tableName, sqle);
            throw new RuntimeException("Bulk copy failed on sql", sqle);
        }
        catch (IOException ioe) {
            ioe.printStackTrace();
            logger.error("{}: i/o trouble", tableName, ioe);
            throw new RuntimeException("Bulk copy failed on i/o", ioe);
        }
    }
    private void deliverSegments(PGCopyOutputStream writer) throws IOException, SQLException {
        logger.info("{}: Begin bulk copy segment", tableName);

        long counter = 0;
        long copied = 0;
        //These had better end up the same number
        long st = System.currentTimeMillis();
        for (Map.Entry<String, List<Segment>> seglistME : segmentListMap.entrySet()) {
            String pbsCSV = seglistME.getKey();
            UUID currentPbsId = probandsetIdMap.get(pbsCSV);
            if (currentPbsId == null) {
                throw new RuntimeException("Could not find pbsId by " + pbsCSV);
            }
            counter += seglistME.getValue().size();
            for (Segment segment : seglistME.getValue()) {
                String segmentCSV = makeCSV(segment, currentPbsId);
                writer.write(segmentCSV.getBytes());
            }
            logger.info("bulked up to {}, maybe?", counter);
        }
        copied = writer.endCopy();
        logger.info("{}/{} segments delivered in {} ms", copied, counter, System.currentTimeMillis() - st);
    }

Also, the stack trace always references the line of the closing brace of the try-with-resources in the run() method and not on the call to endCopy. Because it's a caught exception? Or it's closing a closed writer? Or injection from somewhere?
