Ah, so you really do want to debug the TCP/IP stack. When you said you
wanted to debug the kernel i thought you really did want to debug the
kernel, not the TCP/IP stack. 

So enable CYGIMPL_TRACE_SPLX and then call show_sched_events() every
so often, especially after your system has deadlocked or done whatever
it does.
