Looks that way, and on top if it got no results back from netserver on 
the control (TCP, port 12865) connection.  Adding some -d's to the 
global options will cause netperf to regurgitate what messages it is 
sending and such.

I'd have expected that even if no UDP traffic could flow between netperf 
and netserver the timer running in the netserver _should_ have gotten it 
out of the recv()/recvfrom() call in recv_udp_rr() (src/nettest_bsd.c) 
and that netperf would then report a "normal" result of just 0 
transactions per second.

Either that timer didn't get set, didn't fire, or was insufficient to 
get netserver out of that recv() on the UDP socket, or comms between the 
two system got fubar for TCP too.
