(sigh).. it seems that I spoke to soon. Murphy just showed up. I still
get ssh disconnects (see below) on connections _to_ the machine when
transferring largish amounts of data (like when upgrading a port).
Here is one example (portupgrading the jdk port):
/usr/bin/gcc      -fno-strict-aliasing -fPIC -W -Wall  -Wno-unused -Wno-parentheses -pipe    -Damd64 -DARCH='"amd64"' -DRELEASE='"1.6.0_03-p4"' -DFULL_VERSION='"1.6.0_03-p4-root_12_may_2008_13_25-b00"' -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE -D_ALLBSD_SOURCE -D_LP64=1 -I. -I/usr/ports/java/jdk16/work/control/build/bsd-amd64/tmp/java/java.lang.management/management/CClassHeaders -I../../../src/solaris/javavm/export -I../../../src/share/javavm/export -I../../../src/share/javavm/include -I../../../src/solaris/javavm/include -I../../../src/share/native/sun/management -I../../../src/solaris/hpi/include -I../../../src/share/native/common -I../../../src/solaris/native/common -I../../../src/share/native/java/lang/management -I../../../src/solaris/native/java/lang/management    -c -o /usr/ports/java/jdk16/work/control/build/bsd-amd64/tmp/java/java.lang.management/management/obj64/ClassLoadingImpl.o  ../../../src/share/native/sun/management/ClassLoadingImpl.c
Disconnecting: Bad packet length 3601161525.


The machine is running:
tingo at kg-vm$ uname -a
FreeBSD kg-vm.kg4.no 7.0-STABLE FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE #10: Sat Apr 12
21:42:55 CEST 2008     root at kg-vm.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
amd64

and has been up for about 14 days:
tingo at kg-vm$ uptime
 1:36PM  up 14 days, 17:42, 7 users, load averages: 2.15, 1.85, 1.34

I see that if_re.c for RELENG_7 has been updated on April 22nd, so I'll upgrade the machine to latest -stable and see if that works better.
