ah, i think you'll find any 3.0.x later than 3.0.3 or so may do this
as well.  these are just records of the BNDACKs.

possibly we should set tstp to some nonzero value in this case to
avoid retransmitting these on every restart.

but it's interesting it takes so long; it's supposed to delay
comitting the BNDACK records to disk, so it shouldn't be fsync()
bound.

well, something for me to poke at.
