I think this problem could be solved by a minor addition to the above
block of code.  If the SYN flag is set and the sequence number of the
segment doesn't match the initial received sequence number of the
connection, then we know this is not a duplicate SYN.

        todrop = tp->rcv_nxt - th->th_seq;
        if (todrop > 0) {
                if (thflags & TH_SYN) {
+                	if (th->th_seq != tp->irs)
+                		goto dropafterack;
                        thflags &= ~TH_SYN;
                        th->th_seq++;
                        if (th->th_urp > 1)
                                th->th_urp--;
                        else
                                thflags &= ~TH_URG;
                        todrop--;
                }
