Since it's easy, can you quickly try to if setting tcp_sack sysctl to 0 
makes any difference (I made a surgery there, perhaps some bug in there 
could cause TCP to recover by RTO multiple times in a row, that should 
be visible in tcpdump as well)?

Do you have network namespaces enabled in .config?

Netfilter/iptables involved?

To some specific or "any" other host? How long is "long"?
