It's the server's response to a network error that broke the connection
between a client and the server. You will almost certainly find some
preceding network errors that might give a clue as to what failed. Usually,
it's a faulty network connection; if you see lots of them, it's more likely
the fault is on the server's card; if it's consistently associated with one
workstation, look there first.

Of course, you would first eliminate the possibility that the user simply
crashed out of the app while an operation was under way.
