I know that and in both cases the PCB stays active. But in case nr 1 it
quickly goes into TIME_WAIT state while in case nr 2 it says in
FIN_WAIT_1 forever... As if trying to establish a new netconn (which
fails at "netconn_bind()", after which it is closed and deleted)
somehow locked further transfers to/from that active PCB... I would
expect that in each case the PCB would finally go into TIME_WAIT soon,
but it does not happen without the delay of thread...

I'm just trying to understand it (;
