I've never heard of this one before.

These messages are a bit strange - it looks like your source keeps trying to 
connect again and again, even when it's already/still connected. Doing so 
after it is disconnected is sensible, doing it while it's already connected 
is just stupid. Indicates that the source isn't very smart.

And this - which is where the source is disconnected, shows that the source 
just stopped sending any data. 

Definately a bug with your source program.
