I seem to have the same problem that someone else noted here, but here
is a big difference; it is an almost-unloaded 100-base-t switched network,
with both systems running -stable cvsup-d on Sunday afternoon/evening.

This appears to be a driver or stack problem, since New-reno on or off 
on either end has no effect.  The (cheap) switch is entirely 
autoconfig'd (but used to work fine with these same two cards, switch, and
cables), and both interfaces (both fxp) show full-duplex 100baseT.

pelican# ifconfig fxp0
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.167.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.167.255

Apparently this isn't a new-reno problem.  It *is* new with the latest
-stable; things worked fine before.

pelican has one of the newer fxp boards identifying as a 559.  The portable
is a Sony Z505HS; I don't know the intel chip rev.

This is a transfer using rsync of a directory of 65 or so 1-meg
jpgs, to an empty directory.

This truncated-ip is something I've not seen before
