Is the linux networking code broken?

Or have I been smoking too much crack? ;)

I've tried this code on several different linux machines, running 2.0.36 -
2.4.7 kernels, and it always acts the same.  Doing a write() of more than
1024 bytes on a TCP socket always disables all network connectivity on the
sending machine.  (A reboot fixes things, naturally).  I've tried the same
code on FreeBSD 4.5 machines with no problems.  Is this a limitation in
the kernel networking code, in the IP fragmentation layer, or what?  I'm
scratching my head here...thanks in advance for any replies.  Off-list, if
you would be so kind...
