I have noticed an increasing number of machines on the net are terminating their session (usually the server, but not always) with a RESET packet instead of a FIN packet. In particular it seems that if the machine in question recieves a FIN packet, and has no more data to send, it replies with a RESET. I don't know what kind of machines this is but next time I see it I guess I'll look at it harder.
