Hi Devs,
	After making an unclean DROP ruleset I got "not-working" complains form 
some of my clients who using specific stock-trading application.
	Simply looking to dmesg I found there are few message states that
ipt_unclean: TCP flags bad: 0x0015
	This message mean unclean match is dropping tcp packet with ACK,RST, 
and FIN flags. This I confirm with ipt_unclean.c code
	As per RFC793 (TCP)
...	...	...
In all states except SYN-SENT, all reset (RST) segments are validated by 
checking their SEQ-fields.  A reset is valid if its sequence number is 
in the window.
...	...	...
	Then is there any significance of dropping ACK+RST+FIN combination?

Happy Netfiltering,
