Thanks for reporting the problem and trying the fix. I have committed the change 
to the top of trunk:

http://www.netperf.org/svn/netperf2/trunk/

for those who might want to give it a try.

happy benchmarking,

BTW, over the last couple of days, there have also been fixes (perhaps better 
called workarounds) for the --enable-burst stuff in the TCP_RR test. If you are 
trying to use the burst stuff in a TCP_RR test with sub-MSS request and response 
sizes, and setting TCP_NODELAY with -D there is now a _better_ chance that at 
higher burst sizes (more like max outstanding transactions) there will not be 
bundling of multiple requests or responses in a single TCP segment.  However, it 
is still necessary to sanity check netperf's Transaction/s report against the 
actual number of packets sent and received by the system if you want to use the 
Transactions/s count as a packets per second count.  If there are any 
retransmissions, requests or responses could start to get bundled again.


The test banner will include "cpu bind" if someone binds either netperf or 
netserver to a specific CPU with the global "-T" option.
