How early in November?  I'm staring at this commit message and 
wondering if it has any relevance to your situation:

-----
revision 1.107.2.18
date: 2001/11/12 22:11:24;  author: nate;  state: Exp;  lines: +3 -1
MFH: V1.139
   when newreno is turned on, if dupacks = 1 or dupacks = 2 and
   new data is acknowledged, reset the dupacks to 0.
   The problem was spotted when a connection had its send buffer full
   because the congestion window was only 1 MSS and was not being incremented
   because dupacks was not reset to 0.
