There was a bug reported recently about the way that netconn_recv deals
with the netconn->err field:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?27709
I hope that we will change the API for netconn_recv to return an error
like all the other netconn functions, rather than rely on the conn->err
field, but in the mean time you might like to try the partial fix
mentioned in that bug report.

I tried 1.3.1 and the last api_lib.c from SVC with a fix for netconn_recv. It is still loosing closed conditions.
I think there is something more then just racing conditions in on netconn->err. I found if i use 0 timeout
closed remote side cached well but if i close the client side suddenly on the middle of transition LwIP won't recover and close
the connection with a timeout. It still keep it opened.
Socket API build on netconn as well is doing well in all situations.
Dmitri.
