I would be interested to hear the explanation for this problem. I see
similar behaviour when trying to establish an ssh connection to a guest
OS running under qemu with the -redir option. The connection attempt
just hangs until I run 'tcpdump -i eth0' inside the guest. Very weird.
Not quite the problem you're having, but interesting nonetheless.
