I noticed a similiar (related?) problem. Configuration:

o 2.1.109ac1
o isdn4linux drivers 980718 (Hisax driver for AVM A1)
o happened with gcc 2.7.2.3/pgcc-2.91.50
o P166, 96MB

This problem didn't happen before I upgraded from 2.1.108ac2 to 109ac1.
After some hours online I wasn't able to open new TCP connections as quick
as normal. I tried to initiate a ftp session to another host and waited
about 10 minutes until I got connected. Transfers were very slow (about
0.5 - 1kb/sec). It wasn't a network related problem - pings showed normal
behavior.

The already open ssh session to the server I ftp'ed to worked without
any problem. Problem was gone after a reboot (yeah - Windoze feelings come
up ;)

Some minutes ago - slogin'ing to a server - the same thing happened again.
Uptime was about 9 hours, few network activity. ping still worked, TCP
didn't want to work.
