I've brought up the 4.3 timed under SunOS 4.0.3, more or less.
The typical failure mode is that the master is alive but ineffective
Tracing shows that it is getting an endless stream of acks from
a particular slave with the same negative sequence number.

When this is true, I can't turn tracing on. I get the feeling that
only the master ever actually traces? Or is it true that if -t wasn't
specified, then trace on is of no effect? I know this is not very coherent.
In the trace I saw, of a master started -t, once the bad sequence
numbers started to arrive then TRACEOFF requests also showed in the trace
but the trace continued.

Any direction as to what to investigate would be appreciated.
