Those symptoms are quite different. I suggest checking the server side
logs first. The EOF occurs on the client side anytime the server side goes
away prematurely. You probably aren't yet stressing TCP because I don't
think much bidirectional traffic is exchanged so early, unless your first
file is very large.
