Hi,

  I have an intermitent TCP problem between a FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE and a
2.0.27 Linux.  It's happening right now, let me show an example:

146.164.5.200 - FreeBSD
146.164.53.91 - Linux

gaia::root [530] telnet 146.164.53.91 chargen
Trying 146.164.53.91...
Connected to gta.ufrj.br.
Escape character is '^]'.
 !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefg
!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefgh
"#$%&'()*+,-./01^]quit
 
telnet> quit
Connection closed.


In the above connection, telnet stops completely after some output.
Here's the tcpdump output I've run in another window:

gaia::root [544] tcpdump -pvn host 146.164.53.91 and port chargen

As you can see, the connection is in a loop, trying to exchange data,
but there's a problem somewhere.  The very strange thing is that's
intermitent.  Most of the time it works perfectly.

Also curious, the chargen always stops at the same char.

I have no problem connecting from/to other machines to/from both of these.

Rebooting the Linux machine does not solve the problem, but rebooting the
FreeBSD one does solve, so I think it's a FreeBSD problem.  Any suggestions ?

This is a RELENG_2_2 distribution, from about one month and half ago.  I'm
just waiting for a weekend with some free time to upgrade to 2.2.5-beta.
