I took a look at the code in 2.2.2-RELEASE, and it sure looks as though
it should not exhibit the behavior you described:  if a RST packet
arrives on a connection in the SYN_RECEIVED state, the tcb is closed --
there should be no retries.  So either this problem is not present in
2.2.2-RELEASE; or your problem lies elsewhre (packet filters?); or my
read of the code is wrong (very possible).

I realize this isn't much, but perhaps it's better than nothing.
