The "partial workaround" doesn't seem to actually be a workaround.  I'm
still not sure what kicks my system out of queuing up packets.  But
twiddling the MTU apparently was just coincidental with my system sorting
(most of) its problems out, before.

Okay, noted.

I'll upgrade pkgsrc and rebuild everything after I upgrade to 1.6.  I
don't think that I'm going to put myself through an "extra" rebuild at the
tail end of my 1.5.x days, though.  I'll just use Netscape, or boot a
1.5.x kernel in the meantime.


Thanks for the answers.  (^&  Much appreciated.
