States in FIN_WAIT_2:FIN_WAIT_2 when they should not be

[adam65535]

I am passing traffic from an IPSec VPN connection to a local lan network.  A tcpdump trace on the pfsense LAN side where the server is shows that the client and server are sending the correct FIN/ACK, ACK, FIN/ACK, ACK packets and the states on the server (tested with netstat) are going away properly.  The thing I am trying to figure out is why pfsense 2.0.3 firewall is keeping the states in a FIN_WAIT2:FIN_WAIT2 state instead of a TIME_WAIT state.  FIN_WAIT_2 should mean that a device received an ACK for its sent FIN and is now waiting for a matching FIN from the other side.  A trace on the firewall does show that the FIN/ACK and ACKs to the FIN are being sent though so the firewall should close the state or put them in TIME_WAIT state but that is not happening.

These connections are TCP tests coming from a loadbalancer based on haproxy btw.  Connections directly from devices in the field seem to go into the correct TIME_WAIT state on the firewall.  Looking at wireshark traces I can't see where the difference is.  The only difference is with the firewall as the FIN_WAIT_2 connections are coming from an IPSec VPN whereas the ones that go into the proper TIME_WAIT state are being load balanced using the built in firewall load balancer (RDR I assume).  Maybe this is an issue with IPSec tunnels with pfsense?

Keep in mind that the result of this doesn't break anything.  The states are just shown in the incorrect FIN_WAIT_2 state on the firewall instead of TIME_WAIT.  This is going to bug me until I find out the cause though.  I must know! :)
