Maybe (just maybe) it's a timeout: I saw this when performing a long 
plone migration (though the migration completed anyway). The default 
timeout is 5 minutes, so this is easy to rule out: if the error comes 
out after five minutes it's probably this error (or less if the apache 
configuration uses a lower value).
There are many apache parameters to control the timeout, but IIRC the 
only one that worked here is the Timeout parameter (though I'm not sure 
it solved my issue, I *do* remember that ProxyTimeout, which seemed the 
correct parameter to me, did nothing to prevent the problem).
