Nope - the problem happens well into the transaction.  The odd
retransmit behavior is evidently a feature of mint - its odd, but after
looking at the source, its documented thats it supposed to behave that
way.   Originally I didn't look at the source, and just the data sumps,
which is why I said "odd" restransmits and not "buggy".  It sure looked
like a bug, but it was possible that it be intentional ... and it was.
