Yep, you are right, that is what one-way TCP does, and it is
certainly not what one would like.  (I will spare you the historical
reasons why it all evolved that way...)  Unfortunately, I don't
have the cycles right now to take it on and change it, but possibly
someone else will volunteer.  Otherwise it will have to wait until
I get to it...

Yes, doing something cheap, quick and easy the first time around,
as is generally my own inclination, often manages to come back to
haunt...
