Yes this is what I meant about the improvements in the Windows network stack.
This sort of thing used to cause a problem with stateful firewall rules in 
places
(because we do sequence number tracking) until we started doing "flags s/sa keep
state" by default. However it wouldn't result into the interface totally locking
up until it's reset. (btw Brandon, Note that "ifconfig vrX down; ifconfig vrX 
up"
would probably also clear it without a full reboot).

This is the correct command but it only affects the local tcp stack,
not forwarded packets, so I think this will have no effect here.
