The documentation seems to be off here. If you only delete a ct
entry, the next packet (even if a TCP ACK or something) will make
a new ct with NEW as a ctstate.

To really have a TCP/SCTP connection blocked after deletion of the ct 
entry, you have to only allow NEW ctstates with the initla TCP/SCTP 
packet (SYN/INIT).
