Interesting.  It might be the retry timing, if the retry doesn't happen to 
arrive at the wrong time things might just work.  We you also getting a 
kernel panic with the FreeBSD TFTP server ?

I also have a Windoze based tftp server that I wrote, but I haven't tried it 
yet. I'll give it a try and see what happens.
