$ socket -w -q linuxbox echo < .newsrc
from another, external HP-UX machine, then interrupted them (-w means
'write only').
This had some bad effects on what 1.3.66 thinks about the state of
its sockets:
Active Internet connections
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (State) User
tcp 49388 51636 myhost.ciw.uni-ka:echo myhp.rz.uni-karls:3220 ESTABLISHED root
tcp 50644 52732 myhost.ciw.uni-ka:echo myhp.rz.uni-karls:3228 ESTABLISHED root
On the other hand, the HP box thinks the two connections are in
FIN_WAIT_1, with 8192 bytes still to be sent. Looking at tcpdump,
the Linux box sends 'ack 0, win 0' packets on these ports to
the HP every now and then. The HP box doesn't answer.
