Thanks for your comment.
I hate to be disagreeable, but the app and postgres are running
on the same computer. The app is a java program using jdbc to
issue postgres commands. However, I see the same message via
psql (on the same machine).

Most likely what is happening is that you have a firewall between your
app and your db server that is closing idle connections after x
minutes. Could be other things, like crashing clients, etc... Hard
to say without more evidence.
