Has anyone out there ever seen a heavily loaded server throw the following
error:

send_head NULL in tcp_retransmit_time

I looked at tcp_timer.c, but I'm not all that conversant with kernel code.
Would someone care to coach a little on this. What really happened? Should
I loose sleep on this one?

TIA,

Mark Menard
