It could be numerous things:
- The client disconnected during the request phase
- There was a syntax error in the request (headers)
- There request was garbage (maybe SSL traffic on normal port?)

Most likely a handcrafted request or maybe a script that isn't behaving 
well. I really don't know the exact circumstances when that error is 
generated, so I'm just speculating.
