Ooh, thank you.  I was not previously aware of D-SACK.

Yes, this looks a lot like D-SACK, possibly except for the timestamp
indicating that it's a response to the first of the two copies of that
data, as Greg Troxel pointed out.  But 2883 doesn't specify how D-SACK
should interact with timestamps....

So this might not be indicative of anything noteworthy.  Hmm.
