Could you repost with more of the timestamp intact?  It's really hard to
read as is.

Hm, the TCP stack doesn't look like it thinks that it's waiting... the
timestamps don't seem to be incrementing.  Of course, since I can't see
the timestamp, I don't know what waiting means. :)

Have you tried disabling delayed acks just to be doubly sure that the
delayed ack code isn't causing the problem somehow?

Also, is C really a FreeBSD box?  I didn't think we used window sizes
of 24K.
