I noticed that if you look at the list of failures of this type, there
are often pairs of animals belonging to Andres that failed at the same
time.  I wonder if he might be running a bunch of animals on one
kernel, and need to increase net.core.rmem_max and
net.core.rmem_default (or maybe the write side variants, or both, or
something like that).
