As I noted in the bug you filed, at least as I read RFC 793, it appears
to say that SYN and FIN segments can have data:
For sequence number purposes, the SYN is considered to occur before the
first actual data octet of the segment in which it occurs, while the FIN
is considered to occur after the last actual data octet in a segment in
which it occurs.
so, unless I've misread the RFC, if it's by design, it's a design error
- the reassembly code should process payload in a FIN segment.
