The BSD stack does not seem to be suppressing window update ACKs after
the peer has sent us a FIN
and we have moved the connection to CLOSE_WAIT state. The application
reads data out of the socket receive buffer and every time this happens,
a window update ACK is triggered (if permitted) even after the
connection has been moved to CLOSE_WAIT state. Is there any reason for
this particularly or am i
not looking at the right version (i am looking at NetBSD version 1.5).

Thanks,
Murali
