Follow-up Comment #9, bug #34111 (project lwip):

Regarding the timeout, I think it is there to prevent a DoS attack where the
other end refuses to send a FIN, thus leaving the connection open, and so
consuming resources on the server.  This makes it particularly important in
lwIP where the resources are by definition small.
