NOT Solved: TS-2.0.1rc1: Trouble with Firefox

Grrr. I was to fast to declare my problem solved. It worked nicely for a 
while after the upgrade, but now the trouble is back. Tftpd32 reports:

Read request for file <./pkg/firefox.pkg> Mode octet [07/06 21:49:33.218]
rcvd package too short [[07/06 21:49:42.953]
(a lot more lines like these)
MAX RETRIES while waiting for Ack block 20348. file <.\pkg\firefox.pkg> 
[07/06 41:49:43.093].

The failing block varies.

Funny thing is it only happens with pkgs, never with a normal boot 
(vmlinuz or initrd).

Anyway, probably not a TS problem (wouldn't mind a hint, though :-)
