A customer has reported that BSD4.3, if it is presented with a zero window, tries ONCE to push data through the window. If it receives no response, it closes the connection. There is a language problem between me the customer and the manuals, so maybe I don't understand what they are saying. Does this match 4.3 behavior? - Geof

There was a bug in 4.2 that could cause connections to close if the window was retracted after data had been sent into it; I believe that this is fixed in 4.3BSD as well, although I didn't take the time to set up a situation in which to test that.
