Strange message from pg_receivexlog

Hi all,

My WAL archiving script based on pg_receivexlog reported the following
error several days ago (just ignore everything before
'pg_receivexlog', it's a message my script generates).

Thu Aug 15 18:33:09 MSK 2013 ERROR archive_wal.sh: Problem occured
during WAL archiving: pg_receivexlog: could not send feedback packet:
server closed the connection unexpectedly

At the same time postgres reported this error in log:

2013-08-15 18:32:51 MSK 30945 postgres(at)[unknown] from [local]
[vxid:53/0 txid:0] [streaming 2A97/6FA48000] LOG: terminating
walsender process due to replication timeout

Both pg_receivexlog and postgres run at the same machive,
pg_receivexlog connects to postgres locally. /var/log/messages has
absolutely nothing about it. I also have a hot standby on another
machine connecting to the same master, but there is nothing strange in
its logs either.

Any thoughts what it was?
