TCP fusion is only used on local loopback connections to speed them up by bypassing the normal TCP stack. I found that the problem only occured when connecting to hobbitd locally. I tried running "bb localhost hobbitdboard" once a second, and found it would often return no data, but if I ran the same command from another host to the hobbit server, it always returned correct data. This made me suspect TCP fusion, as I have run into issues with it before. It it is best left disabled in my opinion.
Very interesting, thanks. There have been some reports about problems on Solaris 10, and at one point I was suspecting an OS bug. Seems I was right.
