I'd have to agree.  I just recompiled libssh / sshd so that NODELAY would
not be set in any case, and ls acts a lot more nicely over a modem link.
(2 large updates, rather than lots of tiny ones.)  I'm not sure that we're
seeing any actual bug in the tcp stack here as much as the effect of
packet loss and tinygrams.
