Since there is no response from the client back to the server to verify that it had received the response from the server, the server does not know about a lost connection at exactly the wrong moment. So, the server receives a request for work from a client, assigns work to the client, and posts the response packet - which falls into the bit bucket if the connection has dropped for any reason in the mean time...
