what is strange is that the cmd.exe / root.exe stuff is
half way through with some other code before it 

It doesn't look at all as if you received an HTTP
request, but as if some code was sent to port 80.  

the ip it hit was not mapped to anything ( I believe it
is unused) so this can not have been part of another 
tcp converstion

This doesn't make any sense...it has to be mapped to
something, to a live machine.  If it wasn't, how could
the three-stage TCP handshake have been completed?

As someone else mentioned, it may be a follow-on packet
to Code Red.  Have you gone to this machine and checked
the logs?
