  Now that I actually understand what happens I take back the idea that it
might have been a regression - probably never was - I just didn't notice it
before since the missing ACK flags were confusing things anyway.

  Oh drat. That might be something else. I guess we have stumbled on yet
another bug - this time at server end.

  I checked my entire pcap, and noticed that on my batch of 30 tcp streams,
searching in wireshark with tcp.flags.reset == 1, I get about 3 flows that end
up with RST. 

  Something is going wrong in the sense that the client does not expect the
last ACK from server in this scenario.

  Furthermore, in some cases the client sends a yet another ACK to the "last
ack" (yet this doesn't result in an RST from server!). 

  Yet in bulk of cases everything works.

  Sigh...time to file yet another bug I guess. However, this is not *so*
critical as it does not affect closing - just that an extra packet (RST or
extra ACK) gets sent - but hardly a correct operation.
