This seems like a bug in lwIP, but your fix is not really correct. It might 
solve your specific problem, but only because of your current pcb->snd_queuelen 
state. A more general fix might have to detect that only a FIN should be 
enqueued and ignore the TCP_SND_QUEUELEN counter in this case.

Would you mind adding a bug on savannah?
