Note that I also see this at the office between a laptop and a
-current uniprocessor (kernel vintage yesterday).

Different 100baseTX switch (Cisco this time).
There's no hang, but the ACKs are so delayed (some seconds) that
throughput is just awful.
However, sending from the same laptop to a linux box (eek) or
an Irix box works as expected. Worse:
: netbsd-office ; scp -v irix-box:bigfile.avi .

very very very slow. this is new in the past days, zero topology change,
zero change to the Irix box (in months in both cases).

was -current's TCP borked yesterday?
(I note some commits; were these regression-tested at all, without
profiling, etc.?)
