And from which context are timers processed? If you don't have an OS, you
still have to ensure *not* to call into lwIP from an ISR.

With OOSEQ queueing enabled, you can get pbuf chains after some segments
were lost and retransmissions have been received. This is normal, but if
you encounter this unexpectedly, you could either just have buffer overruns
(i.e. processor is not fast enough, or not enough memory available) or
driver bugs.
