This is a pretty good question!  I don't remember seeing any
synchronization with the SP in jnet_start() so it cannot be
sure the SP has finished reading the previous packet.

It shouldn't.  The data from all mbufs in the chain are just written
to the buffer to form the whole packet in it.

I meant using ssh(1) on the SP and sshd(8) on an external FreeBSD
host just to be 100% sure that combination works, too.
