[ECOS] RedBoot TFTP last block ack oddness

Hi,

It looks like it doesn't work correctly. I still get tftp timeouts and the 
port will not be freed (transfer port constantly counting up).

Another question regarding zlib: If i try to load a gzip compressed file 
via tftp i always get "file not found". Uploading via xmodem work 
correctly.

Bye...
