I can sniff the connection and see an outbound packet.  After about 450 ms,
having not seen a TCP ack from the receiver, the
TINI (assuming the packet was lost ?) transmits the packet a second time.
After another 450 ms, a third transmission. And after a third 450 ms the
TINI shuts down the window (accepting no more data).  We then see the ack
from the original packet but the port is now closed.

I think we are definitely seeing a non-changing backoff timer.

Robert might have more insight on this, but as I understand TINI should
support the backoff.  You are seeing a non-changing timeout retry
operation?  This should be doubling each time.
