After (approximately) a week of running a single process in a shell via
ssh the comp said (without any action on my part):

Connection to plane closed by remote host.
Connection to plane closed.
line:~>

Here is the whole output:

line:~> ssh plane
alexmalk@plane's password:
Linux plane 2.4.20 #5 SMP Fri Apr 30 13:52:31 CEST 2004 i686 unknown

Why it happened and what to do so that it doesn't happen?
