It's a "client" message, not a hylafax server message.

	util/FaxClient.c++: FaxClient::sendRawData(...)

It happens when a client (like sendfax) is trying to upload a file to
the server for sending, and the server "goes away".  This "goes away"
can be a number of things:
	1) hfaxd crashing
	2) firewall cutting data connection
	3) normal internet routing flap/outage...

Check your hfaxd logs and see what it thinks is going on with that
connection, and you should figure out which case it is.
