I would take the server log for those 10 seconds (plus buffer) and really
try to see if something happens in that period.
I am thinking an unexpected commit, index large, alias switch. That may
help you to narrow down the kind of error.
Another option is whether you got empty result or a connection error. I am
thinking firewall that held on but then dropped a connection.
Both of these are unlikely but since you seem to be stuck....
