*.20 is unhappy, for no reason that I can see, unless it is because data was sent with the FIN. That is perfectly legal, but I don't think I have ever seen an actual example before.
...which means it might not be common, and thus there might be TCP implementations that don't handle it (which means they're buggy).
Likewise I have never seen data sent with SYN, which is also legal.
I have vague memories of having seen that when I was at Network Appliance - I think it was a Mac (running classic Mac OS) with a SMB/CIFS client (probably Dave) talking to one of our servers, which might not have been prepared for data with the initial SYN.
