   Indeed, a FIN bit being set on a TCP segment also carrying data means   
   either:   
      
   *) The application called shutdown() or close() against the socket   
      before the last bytes had sufficient classic or congestion window   
      to be sent to the receiver, so the FIN was piggy backed onto the   
      data.   
      
   or perhaps   
      
   *) Some of the last bytes of data had to be retransmitted, and the   
      retransmission came after a "standalone" FIN was sent.
