It's the "connection reset by peer" message from the network. It often
means someone crashed out of an application program without disconnecting;
sometimes it indicates a fault in cabling or a network card or
router; occasionally it might indicate that the server crashed; and
sometimes it might happen from the server receiving a dirty packet and
getting no response on a request to resend - this might be a fairly
frequent occurrence in a hybrid network where a workstation is doing double
duty as a db client and a Windows print server, for example.

Unless you see lots of them, or you have persistent network problems, it's
not something to worry about.
