have not tried. i don't even know how to excercise that part of the code.

But purely by code inspection, i am pretty sure that there is a
leak - the packet matching the ack is extracted from the list and
nobody references it.

the question was aimed to know if whoever wrote/is familiar
with that part of the code knows why - whether this is a residue
of some old code (likely), or there is something that got
deleted elsewhere in the code justifying the deletion.
