rsync: read error: Connection timed out

I am rsyncing several directories .... some of them have over 150,000
files ...  I have seen this error messages several times:

rsync: read error: Connection timed out
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(162)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (359475 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150)


I am rsyncing over 100mbit ethernet connections (on different subnets).
There is plenty of disk space on both sides.

Anyone have any idea what the problem is?  I have to re-run the rsync if
this error message popps up .. and then it gets a bit further syncing up
the directories and then breaks again.. sometimes takes me upto 3 times to
run the rsync for it to finally complete.

It didn't start doing this till the list of files got really large.
