Hi!
Is there a NAT firewall or something like it involved anywhere between the two
machines? If so, the connection may time out at some point in time, and neither
server nor client would be notified that the connection is lost. An "ERROR:
could not send data to client: Broken pipe" message indicates almost certainly
some kind of connection problem, so it's not really a PostgreSQL issue, but
more like a networking one.
Kind regards
