Could be.  But I'd expect the mutex code to whine about the extra unlock. 
And about from an unlock from a different thread.  If I have that option
turned on.

Oh well, one thing at a time.  The good news is that I can reproduce the
problem with netperf.

kpm:/usr/src/netperf-2.4.3> netperf -H akpm2 -t UDP_RR
UDP REQUEST/RESPONSE TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to akpm2 (172.18.116.155) port 0 AF_INET
netperf: receive_response: no response received. errno 0 counter 0

That's running netserver on the test machine.

The machine running netperf is 172.18.116.160 and the test machine running
netserver is 172.18.116.155

tcpdump from the test machine:

So I think we did a bit of TCP chatter then no UDP at all?

It's interesting that the test machine can see other people's DNS queries
go past.
