After writing, I realised that it is indeed perfectly allowed for the
client to send data. But since the server already sent its FIN, it can't
send anything more, not even an error message. So with that in mind, the
client shouldn't send anything any more either.

Thanks, it looks like it should do the trick. I can't try it before
monday, though.
