I typically see the "ip reassembly time exceeded" in situations where
the machine is dropping fragments due to missed interrupts.

What's probably happening here is that because the 2.6 clients can cache
huge amounts of writes before everything needs to be written out at
close() time, the server is being overwhelmed...

Cheers
