It'd be worth checking, perhaps. One thing I've been wondering all
along is how much of this behavior is specific to the local-loopback
case where Windows can see both ends of the connection. You'd think
that they couldn't long get away with such blatant violations of the
TCP specs when talking to external servers, because the failures
would be visible to everyone with a web browser.
