So far testing time out setting seems to do nothing for the problem. The 
timeout appears to just start the socket close which winds up in the 
same state. The only thing I can see that might help is to find the 
equivalent of tcp_fin_timeout which does not appear using
"tcpip sysconfig -q inet" or "tcpip syscongif -q inet".

This customer has an HP vms license, not VSI and no plans to upgrade as 
the system is scheduled for migration.
