Yes, Spread does disconnect client sessions for not receiving when its 
buffers get full.  To solve this, you could look at extending buffers to 
make it more unlikely that Spread will need to disconnect your client. 
 However, if its really a case of your sender overwhelming the receiver, 
the only solution that will prevent this problem from recurring is 
implementing some flow control.  Probably something simple is all you 
will need.  What is you application like?  What is your Spread 
configuration like?  Someone can try to answer your question more 
specifically with further information.
