>Description:
	OpenBSD 4.3's pf contains a sufficient workaround for a problem
	where a state mismatch can occur as a result of a TCP port being
	re-used (SYN) before the state table entry is removed.  The change
	is described here:

	http://www.openbsd.org/plus43.html

	* In pf(4), allow state reuse if both sides are in FIN_WAIT_2 and a new SYN arrives.

>How-To-Repeat:
	n/a
>Fix:
	CVS diff is here:

	http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/net/pf.c.diff?r2=1.559&r1=1.558&f=H

	This would have to be applied to src/sys/contrib/net/pf.c, inserted at
	line ~4762, for RELENG_7.  I believe this can also be backported to RELENG_6.
