OK. So from the above file it looks as if the traffic is mainly READ
requests.

In 2 places the server stops responding. In both cases, the client seems
to be sending a single TCP frame containing several COMPOUNDS containing
READ requests (which should be legal) just prior to the hang. When the
server doesn't respond, the client pings it with a RENEW, before it ends
up severing the TCP connection and then retransmitting.
