I tried, and that makes the problem go away.
This is to be expected of course, because no
renegotiation will take place with that setting.

I tried, and a normal data connection does not have the
problem.  I transferred more than 0.5 GB of data (at which
point renegotiation should take place), and there was no error.

Does it make sense to try and take a stack trace of the
problem, on primary or standby?
