Usually a "broken pipe" message is to do with disruption of a Unix
pipeline rather than a network connection. I've seen the message mostly,
IIRC, in BSD-based environments.
A pipeline connects the standard output of one process to the standard
input of another. If this second process terminated while the first is
still writing its output the "broken pipe" message will be raised. It's
therefore probable that some consumer process is terminating before its
producer.
Whether this is due to timeouts in the server environment is open to
question, but at least you'll be looking for the right problem :-)
