Maybe you didn't have TLS enabled before?

Anyway, this message caused by the other end disconnecting abruptly.
If you just get it once in a while, it can be safely ignored.  If you
get it on every connection, your TLS is broken.  If you get it fairly
consistently with some specific client, maybe that client has a busted
TLS implementation.
