    This is from (working) 2.6.16.18:

    This is from (failing) 2.6.17-rc6-git2:

    Both kernels default to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling == 1,
    and 2.6.16.18 works regardless of whether I turn it off/on again.
    
    But 2.6.17-rc6-git2 fails to work with the webserver at www.everymac.com
    when /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling == 1.  Setting this to 0
    "fixes" the problem.
    
    BUG.
