It has been a while ago (I've since mothballed the machine) but I saw
it on a Pentium 90 with only 8k write sizes. 4k was fine, 8k gave
avalanches.

IIRC, yes, and the server was resending the datagrams. From the code,
it looks as if there is no attempt to stop loopback situations
occurring when this goes on:
i.e. resending an ICMP when the server resends a datagram which times
out again appears to be possible. This might be what was happening...

Down/up on the receiving/reassembling side.
