What's happening is that after receiving the server's message that it
wants to do a COPY, the driver doesn't understand the protocol and dies
with an "java.io.IOException: Unexpected packet type: " error. Once this
happens the driver can't do anything but close the connection. As part of
the connection closing process it issues a Terminate message to the
server, in case it's still listening and the protocol is in a good enough
state that the server might receive it. The driver is not explicitly
terminating the connection upon receiving a copy request, that's just what
happens when it gets confused.
