Typically this isn't reproducible. I rebooted into the latest F20
kernel 3.16.3-200.fc20.x86_64 and hit that URL in Firefox, then only I
noticed was the first time I loaded the URL was that the mem field of
the TCP line in /proc/net/sockstat spiked up to a little over 5000
before coming back down. But no noticeable ill effects.

I rebooted back into 3.17.0-rc6-00180-g452b6361c4d9, but this time
Firefox loaded the URL without issue. Rebooted back and forth a couple
of time but couldn't hit the problem, maybe there's some other factor
involved. I've too the opportunity to build the latest kernel
3.17.0-rc6-00247-g005f800508eb. I'll see if I can hit the problem again
after the machine has been up a while.

Cheers,
Andrew
