Missing transition from TCPS_SYN_SENT to TCPS_CLOSED in tcp_drop?

[John Giacomoni]

I'm curious, why is there an explicit check in tcp_drop (FreeBSD 7.3) that prevents a connection in the TCPS_SYN_SENT from transitioning to the TCPS_CLOSED state?

The check seems to run against the logical transition in the TCP state diagram in Stevens.

Thanks,

John G
