I am sorry. I have already said: it is not truth.
Original reporter (Denis) blamed particularly on the fact,
that Linux allows to read all queued data until EOF.
Try yourself, if you do not believe.
Unfortunately, I deleted that his mail, but you can find it
in mail archives I think, it was to netdev or to linux-kernel.
