Changes
Security tool (i.e. WebKeeper or nmap) has been recently configured which pings the forms server to do health check.
For example
nmap is configured and using below command to check forms server port availability.
nmap -p portnumber hostname
nmap -sT -p portnumber hostname
The same error can be reproduced when "Web Keeper" used as a port probing tool as well.
