>How-To-Repeat:
$ fgrep -r TCP_DROP_SYNFIN /usr/src/sys
/usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES:# TCP_DROP_SYNFIN adds support for ignoring TCP packets with SYN+FIN. This
/usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES:options         TCP_DROP_SYNFIN         #drop TCP packets with SYN+FIN

/usr/src/sys/netinet/tcp_input.c:#ifdef TCP_DROP_SYNFIN
/usr/src/sys/netinet/tcp_input.c:#ifdef TCP_DROP_SYNFIN
