having looked again at ip/tcp.c i think the code wasn't really intending
to resolve one of the stalled receiver cases i had in mind, although it happens to do so,
so changing it probably doesn't mess up some original intent.

mind you, one lesson i take from all this is that in retrospect one could expect
just about anything from a server run by a company like godaddy that
completely misses the point about black leather jackets.  (they look
cool only if you don't scribble adverts all over them.)
