ssh: Command terminated on signal 13

[MaD dUCK <madduck@madduck.net>]

hi guys,
i have one machine - "seamus" - an AMD K6-2 500/160 Mb which is acting
up. sometimes when i ssh into it (like 1/5 times), it gives me the
following:

fishbowl:~> ssh seamus
madduck@seamus.home.madduck.net's password: 
Last login: Fri Jun 29 01:47:06 2001 from fishbowl.madduck.net on pts/1
Linux seamus 2.4.5 #1 Thu Jun 28 15:59:01 CEST 2001 i586 unknown
Received disconnect from 192.168.14.3: Command terminated on signal 13.

when i then try again, it usually works.

any idea what this could be?
