I'm wondering whether there is a kernel bug related to TCP_CORK.  I
think I'm using it in an uncontroversial way, but it's a new feature
and there might be something wrong.  Getting `netstat -to` output on
both ends, plus (if possible) a tcpdump may show that the problem is
in the kernel, if it indicates that the tcp stack has got to a state
it should never enter.  One example would be being in FIN_WAIT1 with
data pending and no timers registered.  

Thanks for running all the experiments.

Have a good weekend.
