This used to be a bug/feature of the Net/3 TCP code (ack of syn caused
cwnd increment).  The snippet below seems to be aimed at preventing this
in current FreeBSD, but perhaps something else is incrementing initial
window to be 2 (not that this is a bad thing).

from tcp_input.c:1795
                /*
                 * If no data (only SYN) was ACK'd,
                 *    skip rest of ACK processing.
                 */
                if (acked == 0)
                        goto step6;
