Then i would say, F is simply not in open wait or in closed wait for S.
Maybe F is blocked, because it handles an another request.
If you use fiasco, i assume this, then simply check the state from F.
It should be in Thread_receiving|Thread_ipc_in_progress (the 
Thread_ready bit doesnt hurt to). 
The ipc partner should be * for open wait or S.
