Hmm, not sure.  Could it be some sort of fairness thing?  Because the
number of pbufs are limited if they were all allocated and placed on the
send queue the stack would grind to a halt (there would be none available
for incoming packets).

I'm just guessing now, as this wasn't a bit of code I implemented.  The
only person who could definitively answer this is Adam, but if anyone has
any sensible ideas lets hear them!
