'Is it possible for a certain sequence of data bytes to drop a TCP connection

I have a simple TCP client/server arrangement (running on Windows 10/11) used to transfer binary data from multiple remote clients to a single server. This works 99% of the time. However, whenever the following hexadecimal sequence appears in the data (being sent from the client to the server) the TCP connection drops and the client generates a 10053 error.

6C 74 01 00 08 00 00 00

Running the server application on a local network has slightly different results... the connection does not drop but the client receives no ACK from the server.

Is it possible for a certain sequence of bytes to drop, or otherwise interfere with, a TCP connection?
