I think the reason this happened in Linux was because thw congestion
window is counted in segments, which were now TSO sized. You'd send
1 TSO sized segment, get back (say) 10 ACKs because of segmentation
and increase the window size by 10*TSO_SEG_SIZE/cwnd insead of
10*REAL_MSS/cwnd. We're unlikely to have exactly the same bug,
because we count cwnd in bytes, but it doesn't rule out haveing
other unexpected/subtle interactions (like higher varience of RTT
esitmation - I guess all packets in a TSO segment are now sent with
the same timestamp?).
