tcpdump is seeing them.

The RPC messages are emitted at pretty much exactly the same frequency
as the ACKs.

I *guess* that the `failed to lock transport' is the underlying error...
time to add some debugging and find out what task is locking the
transport. Back soon, must rebuild the kernel and reboot to clear this
lock ;)
