This makes me think that there is a NAT router or other device that is
sometimes losing the virtual circuit between the machines.  Starting a
new connection works but the old connection is sometimes idled out?
Usually people run into that problem with idle connections and need to
set up a diddle to keep the connection alive.  But you are using it so
it doesn't quite match but I am mentioning it anyway.

You might check your router hardware.  You might run a ping in another
window and seeing if you are seeing any packet loss.  If you found a
high packet loss between the systems then that would point to the
hardware between them.
