--- Comment #74 from Mike Karels <karels@freebsd.org> ---
In responding to an earlier comment directed to me, and to the comments sin=
ce:

This connection is dead.  Only an RST and CLOSED state apply.  Data cannot =
be
delivered to the application, which has lost the handle to this connection,=
 and
may not even be alive in some cases.  TCP cannot wait for a FIN, for exampl=
e,
because there may be gigabytes of data to deliver before the FIN, and there=
 is
no where for them to go.

fwiw, I added the original version of this code about 30 years ago.  I beli=
eve
it was in 4.3BSD.  It is still correct.
