A bit more investigation reveals that the SA is re-established but the
SPD entries at the remote get dropped. This would explain the half duplex
communication I am seeing with tcpdump (ping repsonses get back as far 
as the remote racoon machine and the lack of SPD means the machine can't
route the packet back through the tunnel).

I have tried applying the suggested fix in fbsd4/530, which seems to be 
a similar problem, but this doesn't make any difference, unfortunately.

Turning on debug messages seems to alter timings sufficiently that 
problems are harder to reproduce exactly and/or slightly different
problems are encountered.

Looks like I'm going to have to have a more detailed look at the source ....
