This issue seems to have started after snv_129 for me. I get "connect
reset by peer", or transfers (of any kind) simply timeout.

Smaller transfers succeed most of the time, while larger ones usually
fail. Rolling back to snv_127 (my last one) does not exhibit this
issue. I have not had time to narrow down any causes, but I did find
one bug report that found some TCP test scenarios failed during one of
the builds, but unable to find that CR at this time.
