Please try this change.  What is happening is that you have a remaining
window that is smaller than the window scale.  You are receiving zero
window updates that are received ok (becuase the socket buffer isn't
completely empty), and that advance rcv_nxt.  However, tcp_output() is
not advancing rcv_adv because 'recwin' is calculated as zero.  My
invariants had assumed that the ACK that gets forced out for a reply
to a zero window probe would move rcv_adv, but that isn't happening.
This patch will allow rcv_adv to advance when a zero window probe is
ACK'd.  I'm not sure if this is the best way to fix this, but I think
it will fix it:
