What version of PostgreSQL are you using? What operating system
and version? Does anything show up in the postmaster or system
logs? How repeatable is the problem? Does it happen with a one-line
script that executes just a simple psql command?

We've seen previous reports of "Broken pipe" that turned out to be
caused by exhausted resources -- could that be the problem?
