Note that lwIP doesn't implement SO_LINGER, so setting SO_DONTLINGER
should have no effect.  That doesn't explain why your call to close()
blocks though.  There are lots of possible reasons why it might block.
Most code paths seem to result in it returning pretty quickly.  I
suggest you trace through the code and work out what the problem in your
case is.  The socket call won't return until the the semaphore used to
notify that the operation is completed is signalled: see do_delconn().
