no; I work with x86 uClibc, so have no appropiate cross gcc in place fpr
ARM.

We have in cURL a great testsuite, and also a test tftp server, I was
already thinking about modifying this beast to delay the reply, but not
sure how to detect the issue then if present without a network monitor?
Perhaps check the server side if more than one ACK for a packet is
received which should point out the failure?
I guess I will post this on our curl-devel list now; lets see if someone
else has an idea if we should/could add a testcase for this.

Thanks, Günter.
