[net.unix-wizards] FIN_WAIT_2 bug.

PIKE@TL-20B.ARPA (Tod Pike) (02/22/85)

Has anyone found a fix to the FIN_WAIT_2 bug in the 4.2BSD network code?
Symptoms are that TCP connections with TOPS-20 systems occassionally hang
in FIN_WAIT_2 state and the connection never closes.  Apparently this bug
has been around for a while....

Send answers to PIKE@TL-20B.ARPA.....Thanks, Tod
