Details:

I think following case is not processed in lwip correct way.

Communication between host1 and host2.
Host1 advertises zero window.

Unacknoledged queue of the host2 is empty,
unsent queue contains some data.
In accordance with RFC-793 Section 3.7, host2 should
send zero-window probe, but it does not.
If host1 goes down, host2 is still sure, that connection is OK.
