I suppose it's possible, but it would have to be a very broken TCP/IP
implementation.

One check would be to see if server.o contains references to setsockopt
(nm server.o | grep setsockopt).  If it does, you're at least trying to
use KEEPALIVE -- check your syslog for error messages about KEEPALIVE
(starting with 1.11.1, CVS logs an error message under the daemon
facility if setting KEEPALIVE fails).
