FreeBSD 2.2.x and later use Transaction TCP more extensively in the
system. One utitility to benefit is the finger program. Unfortunately,
it has shown a number of systems which cannot handle the SYN and FIN
flags being set in the same packet, and it looks like the Annex is one
of them. Try using finger with the -T flag to disable T/TCP
