Description

Better handle the case with a network that drops packets by retrying
with a back off. This was discovered when Luigi sent me code to
handle this for Etherboot. The Etherboot patch worked okay but
FreeBSD's tftpd had trouble handling it and would fail to transfer
the file since it would abort on send and not retry.
