RFC requried to retransmit data until acked. No matter how to application close
socket (do you realy mean this retransmit must be depeneds on apllication
reading socket? this is strange and irrational). Yes, ack all received data may
be not good. Not sure. May be don't ack it before got ACK to FIN? And only
after ACKed FIN generate RST+ACK (RST MUST be w/ ACK, w/o correct ACK RST
ignored by Linux and Windows, I am check this before. And accepte such RST for
live connection by FreeBSD is bug, violate RFC and security issuse).

Generated RST before ACKed FIN don't allow to make sure about "All segments
preceding and including FIN will be retransmitted until acknowledged."

Please, ignore syn cookies here. See only to "last data chunk not acked, FIN
lost".
