The DEQNA has a bug that causes it to forget to do its job sometimes.
The current qe (DEQNA/DELQA) driver has a watchdog timer that jabs the
qe after it falls asleep.

Generally, the jab happens before a TCP connection will time out, but
in some situations this could cause the problem.  The fix is to replace
the DEQNA with a DELQA (at least, so say DEC).
