To cut a long story short, it comes down to a resource issue: the server decided to sever ties with the client as it knew the client would reconnect if it needed to. > Servers commonly implement duplicate request caches that depend on a > combination of the XID, port number RPC program number and > RPC procedure > number (See http://www.connectathon.org/talks96/werme1.html).
