Your client may be receiving messages too slowly.  The daemon will
eventually disconnect your client, I believe after buffering a certain
number of messages (I believe it defaults to 1000).

Do you happen to be using SpreadMessage's setObject() and/or
getObject() methods?  They both are implemented using Java's
serialization mechanism, which is fairly slow.
