Just a guess, but the remote client either used an abortive close()
(naughty naughty) of its connection, or the remote client't TCP
gave-up on getting a request to the server and reset the connection
(and the reset happened to make it through).

Or, the server took long enough to reply to the query that the remote
client gave-up and did a "normal" close() of the connection, and the
arrival of the response data (the client's FIN and the server's data
crossing somewhere in the net) triggered the reset.
