I was somewhat surprised to see that calling shutdown(SHUT_WR) on
a TCP socket with SO_LINGER set {.l_onoff = 1, .l_linger = 0} does
not in fact flush the send queue orderly, but immediately RST's the
connection.
I realize this is an issue for the Dept. of deep TCP arcanæ and not
something to be changed lightly, so consider this more of an
observation than bug report.
