For future reference, a good thing to do in situations like this is to write the raw data to a file, using "tcpdump -w /tmp/foo ..."; then you can go back to it and do a "tcpdump -x" on it to read the actual packet, or you can let tcpdump interpret things.

It looks like tcpdump got confused by seeing the fin as the first packet.
