Downgrading the FreeBSD (client) side to 2.5.1 (the last binary package available for FreeBSD - I didn't try anything in between) fixed the problem. I just upgraded back to 2.5.5 (actually 2.5.5_1, from the FreeBSD Ports tree - the _1 means its been patched I think) and the problem seems to have disappeared. Maybe it was a zlib problem dealing with a specific data pattern or something? I'll leave it at 2.5.5 and see if I can reproduce the error in the next few days.
