We have a SPARC station talking TCP with an PDP-11 (running Porcess
Software 2.2/RSX11-M 4.0).  On a frequent, but non-reproducable basis, the
server on the 11 side gets into a FIN-WAIT-2 state, the Sun process gets
into a CLOSE WAIT state.

I would appreciate any insights into this situation, or any hints as to
using setsockopt(2) to help alleviate this problem.
