Looking at the trace, it appears as though you just restored from a  
checkpoint. Is this the case? If so, what does the checkpoint dropping  
run do after that checkpoint is created? It's so early in the trace  
that  I would guess it's a serialization bug, particularly in the TSO  
code. However, I looked quickly at the code and and nothing seemed to  
jump out at me. If you can provide me with an EthernetAll trace from  
the checkpoint run and from the restored run I can work on figuring  
out what the problem is.
