Now I saved a tcpdump on this (running pre13):

After this netstat shows: SYN_SENT, timer off (0.00/0).

I was even able to reproduce this multiple times now..

Why is Linux sending a RST? There's a SYN ACK missing, right?
So that's maybe correct (I didn't read the RFC), but dropping the timer
and block the connect() not, IMHO ;-)

You can test it yourelf by telneting the offending host (if you need the
address for testing, please tell me, Alan- I don't want to post it here
to protect the innocent(?) :-)
