I have recently deployed a similar setup, Ubuntu 10.04, pgsql 8.4,
rails 3.0.3, pg gem etc.

I have started to see this error occasionally, that request fails then
subsequent requests are OK, the pgsql log says the client
disconnected!

Sequel::DatabaseDisconnectError (PGError: server closed the connection
unexpectedly

I've not had problems before with older versions.

Take a look at you postgresql log and see if you can get clues there,
I'm not sure what is causing my problems either.
/var/log/posgresql/...
