This is related to TIMEWAIT syndrom ?

First connection went well.

Now we try to reuse tuple  (ports 49374, 8009 on loopback) while a socket is in TIMEWAIT, and first
SYN packet (time 06:48:20.337335) is dropped (considered as a packet part of previous session)

Now why the first SYN packet is dropped and not the second one, I dont know yet.
