Re: Slow VM, svn client drops connection with FIN packet

Here's this morning's failure. For testing, I've set http-timeout=67. I am
trying to see if the zero window is a coincidence or not.

The debug output:

There are two interesting things:
The long gap after the *REF* packet is unusual, it's the first time I've
seen that.
The FIN packet is 72 seconds later, not 67 like I set the timeout. OTOH,
it's close, and, given the long gap no packets occur at FIN - 67 seconds.

I'm going to keep trying random timeout values.
