That's hardly enough information to guess, but since we're trying to
guess, maybe your maintainance_mem went overboard and your server ran
out of RAM. Or disk space.

Aside from a bug, that's the only reason I can think for a pg backend
to bail out like that. Well, the connection could have been cut off by
other means (ie: someone tripped on the cable or something), but lets
not dwell on those options.
