Details:

TCP_MSL should be documented somewhere outside private headers. opt.h
propbably or somewhere else since it is important parameter for small memory
platforms. I wasted about a week searching why I get heap exhausted after
about 200 tcp connections. By default TCP_MSL equals to 60sec. And saying more
it's value is doubled when checking time. So I have 200 TCP PCBs hanging for 2
minutes without any need.
Another question is why this value has this name which is quite misleading
since it is used to check abandoned PCBs only.
If there is a big sense behind this so please explain it.
I use 2.0 RC2.
Thanks.
