Can someone cross check with the RFC (I will later), but there is no ack/seq
numbers checked for a RST packet.  Is this deliberate ?

Look at code paths which lead to ~line 1121 of tcp_input.c which I see as:
        if (tiflags&TH_RST) switch (tp->t_state) {

consider the case of a RST only packet as well as a RST+ACK packet.
