2.2.15pre10: TCP problem

Hi,

There seems to be a problem with TCP in 2.2.15pre10. The same problem occurs
in at least 2.2.14pre5, 2.2.14pre9 and 2.2.15pre10.

Following is the tail end of a tcpdump of an attempt to pick up the latest
netscape communicator using ncftpget. The command line used was:

  ncftpget -F ftp://205.188.247.193/pub/communicator/english/4.72/windows/windows95_or_nt/complete_install/cc32e472.exe

Everything looks fine until the packet where we issue the PASV command,
but then we don't seem to see their ack/reply. We issue the same packet
again, and they try sending their reply a few times, but we seem to be
missing it.

This same transfer worked without problems under 2.0.35.

Cheers,

Chris,
