Bug #93 states that a connect() will hang if the remote port of a
connection setup doesn't exist. The remote host will respond with
the (RST | SYN | ACK) flags set, but we only relay the RST flag back
to the local user. This causes the situation described above.
We now add a check if the reset happens in the connection state
TAP_SYN_RCVD, in which case we add the missing (SYN | ACK) flags.
This solves the problem.
