Okay, I compiled and ran 1.3.3 to see if that would make a difference.  No error, but I can see that no TFO option is being returned by the server:

$ uname -a
Linux baritone 4.9.0-7-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.110-1 (2018-07-05) x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fastopen
3

$ grep -r TCP_FASTOPEN /usr/include/linux/tcp.h 
#define TCP_FASTOPEN		23	/* Enable FastOpen on listeners */

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
