Hi,

After review my code, I found that I have add a flag to the vnet_disconnect
API which will call session_reset instead of session_close, the reason I do
this is to make intermediate firewall just flush the state and reconstruct
if I later reconnect.

It seems in session_reset logic, for half open session, it also missing to
remove the session from the lookup hash which may cause the issue too.

I change my code and will test with your patch along, will provide feedback
later.

I also noticed the bihash issue discussed in the list recently, I will
merge later.
