Are you behind a NAT box by any chance?  It is probably timing out your
state after 10 minutes or so of no packets on that tcp connection.

add this to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

# Set the keep-alive for a heartbeat every 60 seconds and a connection
# close after 30 minutes. -wsr 2003/11/26
ClientAliveInterval  60
ClientAliveCountMax  30

add this to /etc/ssh/ssh_config:

Host *
    # set the keep-alive for a heartbeat every 60 seconds and a connection
    # close after 30 minutes. -wsr 2003/11/26
    ServerAliveInterval    60
    ServerAliveCountMax    30

This adds a heartbeat for both incoming and outgoing connections.  It
should keep your NAT mappings from timing out.

It is acting like they are not.  What settings do you have?
