hm, the distcc TCP hangs are back:

Distcc client box (quad, 10.0.1.16) running v2.6.24:

 dione:~> netstat -nt | grep -vw TIME_WAIT | grep 3632
 tcp        0 250455 10.0.1.16:55559             10.0.1.19:3632              ESTABLISHED
 tcp        0 254743 10.0.1.16:56096             10.0.1.19:3632              ESTABLISHED
 tcp        0 219617 10.0.1.16:55674             10.0.1.19:3632              ESTABLISHED

              [ ^--- note the stuck send-queue ]

Distcc server box (16-way, 10.0.1.19) running very-latest:

 phoenix:~> netstat -nt | grep 10.0.1.16 | grep 3632 

 tcp        0      0 10.0.1.19:3632              10.0.1.16:55559             ESTABLISHED 
 tcp        0      0 10.0.1.19:3632              10.0.1.16:56096             ESTABLISHED 
 tcp        0      0 10.0.1.19:3632              10.0.1.16:55674             ESTABLISHED 

 tcp        0      0 10.0.1.19:3632              10.0.1.16:34411             ESTABLISHED 
 tcp        0      0 10.0.1.19:3632              10.0.1.16:51094             ESTABLISHED 
 tcp        0      0 10.0.1.19:3632              10.0.1.16:60787             ESTABLISHED 
 tcp        0      0 10.0.1.19:3632              10.0.1.16:50874             ESTABLISHED 

I.e. the client side send-queue is stuck in established state, server 
side thinks it's a proper established connection. Nobody makes any 
progress.

Also note the final 4 connections on the server side - those are not 
present on the client box.

The hung condition seemed permanent (i waited a couple of minutes).

Then i shut down the distccd on the server side, which propagated to the 
client:

 distcc[18496] (dcc_pump_sendfile) ERROR: sendfile failed: Broken pipe
 distcc[18496] (dcc_readx) ERROR: unexpected eof on fd4
 distcc[18496] (dcc_r_token_int) ERROR: read failed while waiting for token "DONE"
 distcc[18496] Warning: failed to distribute kernel/futex.c to ph/20, running locally instead

Server side lingered in FIN_WAIT2 a bit:

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address               Foreign Address             State
tcp        0      0 10.0.1.19:3632              10.0.1.16:56096             FIN_WAIT2
tcp        0      0 10.0.1.19:3632              10.0.1.16:55559             FIN_WAIT2

I retried the same build 10 times and it would not reproduce - so this 
again is a hard to reproduce condition. (and there's no chance to get a 
proper tcpdump either, at these traffic levels)
