This is a known behavior in the windows stack.  Anytime that there are too many
sockets opened based on the limit built into the OS, it will respond to new
connection requests with RST, instead of just ignoring the SYN packet.  This
results, of course, in software that is trying to connect, to abort with errors
that are more commonly associated with stream failures, not connection timeouts.

The win9x family has very small limits on total open sockets.  Windows XP still,
apparently has a limit, although it is much higher.  But, you have to use the
full blown server versions to get unlimited sockets it appears.
