I looked at it with ethereal. The client issues a RETR and the server
starts sending a file. The client data port closes before the transfer
is complete (the server doesn't notice this so there are a bunch of RST
responses).

When the server has sent the whole file it sends the 226 message, which
results in a RST being returned on the control connection.

It looks to me like the client crashed during the transfer. One I start
seeing RST on the data connection there isn't any response of any kind
from the client. TCP just keeps sending RST.
