That can't really happen: lwIP processes segment numbers, not segments. And a 
FIN consumes a segment number, so the segments are not the same.

I'd guess it's a bug.

However, last time I checked, ESP has both an old and modified version of lwIP. 
We can't start chasing bugs from a report solely found in their version.

If you can reproduce this on vanilla lwIP (2.1.0 rc1, ideally), I'd start to 
investigate this...
