I assume it has something to do with a test to see whether the network
configuration supports full duplex or not.  My two machines are connected
via a hub, which I understand makes full duplex impossible, so this makes
sense for my setup.  I haven't checked the source code, though, and I
don't know all that much about the nitty-gritty details of ethernet, so I
could be wrong about this....
