You're right that it wasn't rxtcp, I think it was
bringing-rx-into-21st-century-20060504 which was later taken out of
head with taking-rx-back-into-the-20th-century-20061228.

My point was not the specific breakage (there were surely other things
as well), but more the fact that at least on Linux, head was not
buildable for quite a long time.
