You're right, I've been able to reproduce the problem here. Turns out
that it's a bug in mini_httpd - when accept() returns ECONNABORTED
(because the connection from nmap had already been closed while it
was still waiting in the listen queue), it simply exits ("accept:
Software caused connection abort"). The fix is trivial and the next
release will include a patched mini_httpd. I'll report this to the
author of mini_httpd as well.

Thanks!
