Maybe the reciever should wait "5 seconds" (i.e., 'an arbitrary time period') before closing the connection on an abort. That is, if we're going to stick random delays into our protocol in order to protect real applications against bugs in the protocol stacks on popular platforms, we're better off putting those random delays in for the case where the transaction is being aborted than in the normal course of events.
