Thanks. I see now that ECN stands for Explicit Congestion Notification, and indeed this is one of the options in "networking options". I had looked at this, and obviously left it set to N. I didn't get the connection between the acronym ECN and Explicit Congestion Notification. The Help button for xconfig gives the RTFM, "No Help ..." response.
Perhaps a documentation patch for the help response which warns of the possible problems with having ECN turned on would be appropriate.
