Warren,

	Yes!! I actually do know what that means!!! It means that the peer
server changed the size of it's tcp window. This is normally negotiated
and maintained throughout the span of a TCP session, but in certain TCP
stack implementations can be overridden. What happed is the the TCP
window size negotiated in the connection was changed mid-stream, and the
kernel caught it and adjusted for it. SWEET!!! Whis is how it was
explained to me in the kernel list.
