Did you know that FreeBSD and Linux handle route errors differently, and that maybe a timeout on disconnect is being misinterpreted? Linux drops the connection (making it somewhat succeptible to the "NT sniper bug", actually), and FreeBSD retries. Matt Day posted something about this to -hackers or to -current a while ago. If you are stuck in an incremental back-off, it could explain a few things. It would also explain why the change came in at the same time as the 4.4 Lite code came in in place of the 4.3 (Net/2) code.
