AOL's impatient servers (was: Re: AOL rejecting hosts with no rDNS?)

Incidentally, has anyone noticed that AOL's servers are awfully impatient? 
I'm getting a lot of these lately:

2004-06-24 14:57:38 SMTP protocol violation: synchronization error (input sent
without waiting for greeting): rejected connection from H=rly-ip05.mx.aol.com
[64.12.138.9]

This is the kind of behavior I usually associate with spammers, which is why
my MTA rejects hosts that act this way.  Does anyone know why AOL's servers
are so badly behaved?
