Same with me... 

Some more info: netscape is selecting read and write on X-socket. Read
is working fine, but write never gets signalled since the tcp-
sendqueue is not empty. It gets lowered on next tcp-timer event, but
often not emptied. When tcp-sendqueue is emptied, verything is fine
for a while...

All observations with strace and 'netstat -o'. The X-socket is 
connected to the local ethernet ip-address. 

Regards 
       Christoph 

P.S: Dave, I do not have tcpdump output at hand, but can produce it tomorrow.
