Comment # 4 on bug 942178 from Neil Brown

Not on vacation quite yet - a few hours to go.

This is really strange.
That patch really fixes a bug and should have no negative consequences.
The fact that does strongly suggests that there is a bug else where that has
been hiding.

It is possible to get a tcpdump trace showing the problem?
i.e
on one client run
 tcpdump -w /tmp/tcp.trace -iany -s 0 port 2049 &

then run the java program on both this and the other client in a way that
demonstrates the problem.  Then kill the tcpdump, and compress and attach
/tmp/tcp.trace
??

I might try to have a look next week to see what is happening.
