A 10054 socket error in this context is not an indication of a problem, but is
currently known and expected behavior. It happens any time a WinSock connection
is closed down (TCP/IP or TP4, whether clean or dirty). Although this event by
itself may be confusing, it is not harmful.
Winsock Error code 10054 (WSAECONNRESET) indicates a "Connection reset by peer."
