I was not able to duplicate it, between two i386 NetBSD machines or
between an NetBSD/i386 machine and another host, either via 'get' or
'put', from either end...

The networking problems that people have seen with sup.netbsd.org have
been pretty well documented, and are _NOT_ related to NetBSD's
networking code in any way.  see the current-users mail archives if
you're interested in finding out about them, rather than simply
speculating.
