Package: linux-image-2.6.17-1-686
Version: 2.6.17-4
Severity: important

It is impossible to access the following URL using kernel 2.6.17:
http://icfp06.cs.uchicago.edu/

No data seems to be received, when running Debian's kernel 2.6.17, using any 
web brower (Konqueror, Firefox...), or even using telnet:
telnet icfp06.cs.uchicago.edu 80
GET / HTTP/1.1
host: icfp06.cs.uchicago.edu

This problem occurs always and only with that web site (I have found no other 
site that triggers that problem), and only when using kernel 2.6.17.

It must be noted that this problem disappears when running a previous kernel 
version (I re-tried running at least version 2.6.16 on the same Debian system).
This is not a problem tied to our network configuration: all other users of our 
network can access that URL without problem, using any other OS.
This is not a hardware problem: when running kernel 2.6.16 or Windows XP on the 
same hardware, I have no problem.

Running ethereal, I observed that the HTTP TCP data is actually received, but 
seems dropped by the kernel before being delivered to the client process 
(browser or telnet).
If you can't reproduce that problem, please tell me what additional information 
you would need.
