The problem is also fixed with 2.4.0-test12pre3 (this time running on the same
machine he had problems with):

A fix for 2.2 would be nice, though. I did some modifications to 2.2 based
on the 2.4 changes, but only managed to get a very small improvement (and
after even further changes a mostly non-functioning TCP ;) )
