TCP trashing data on application close

I am using c to send data to a socket with the following commands:

Code:

socket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, ptrp->p_proto);
ioctl(socket, FIONBIO, (char *)&on);
connect(socket)
send(socket,data)
shutdown(socket, SHUT_WR);
recv(socket) //ready last of data waiting on the port

//note this is the same port and address as the connection above
socket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, ptrp->p_proto);
ioctl(socket, FIONBIO, (char *)&on);
connect(socket)
send(socket,data)
shutdown(socket, SHUT_WR);
recv(socket) //read last of data waiting on the port

The other end of the connection takes approximately half a second to process all of this information, but my application finishes immediately.

The problem is that some of the data at the end of the first send is truncated though all of the data from the second send statement makes it to the other end, but if I add a 1 second sleep to the end of my application all of the data makes it successfully.

Why is this happening?

ip

ip(4p)																	    ip(4p)

Name
       ip - Internet Protocol

Syntax
       #include <sys/socket.h>
       #include <netinet/in.h>

       s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, 0);

Description
       The  IP	is the transport layer protocol used by the Internet protocol family.  It can be accessed through a ``raw socket'' when developing
       new protocols or special purpose applications.  IP sockets are connectionless and are normally used with the and calls.	The call, however,
       can also be used to fix the destination for future packets, in which case the or and or system calls can be used.

       Outgoing  packets automatically have an IP header prepended to them, based on the destination address and the protocol number the socket is
       created with.  Incoming packets are received with their IP headers and options intact.

Diagnostics
       On failure, a socket operation returns any of the following errors:

       [EISCONN]      Tried to establish a connection on a socket that already had one, or tried to send a datagram with the  destination  address
		      specified when the socket was already connected.

       [ENOTCONN]     Tried to send a datagram, but no destination address was specified and the socket was not connected.

       [ENOBUFS]      The system ran out of memory for an internal data structure.

       [EADDRNOTAVAIL]
		      Made an attempt to create a socket with a network address for which no network interface existed.
