Chuck Johnson,

	If you have connections hanging in FIN_WAIT_2 and LAST_ACK
then there is a bug somewhere.  There was a bug in the 4.2 TCP
implementation (in tcp_input.c) which would cause connections to
hang in this state.  The fix, which is in the Mt. Xinu bug list
(among other places), involved repositioning a block of code
(though I can't remember which block where).
