I just tried the same thing, fired up openSUSE 10.3 on a laptop, no
proxy. Started Wireshark and did a capture.

I also get a few (suspected) retransmissions, but the page loads
normally in Firefox. Don't think those retransmissions point to anything
really serious, though. Not serious enough to mess up the loading of the
page. After all, the packets were retransmitted and then arrived. Most
likely somewhere there is a lack of bandwidth, probably the origin
server. Maybe the origin server sometimes suffers under high utilization
or lacks bandwidth severely enough to cause empty replies?

I doubt it's a bug in openSUSE. We'd be seeing this with more websites
then. It's more likely either something at the origin server...or
something at Terry's setup which we haven't identified (yet). I've been
using openSUSE 10.2 and 10.3 both since they were released. Haven't had
problems with sites not loading or sending empty replies.

HTH,
