The evidence from the posted decodeed packet capture so far suggests
otherwise. The problem is at the TCP layer, completely unrelated to
Google's "SMTP implementation", and to first approximation, pending
further more detailed analysis of packet captures, looks like a Linux
TCP bug, more than a Google bug...
