"initial block size" will not have any effect on the reported problem.

It affects the size of TDS packets, roughly similar to the MTU in tcp/ip.
Larger packets mean fewer packets (and fewer round trips to the server),
but also a larger recovery unit in the event of a lost/damaged packet.

I suspect the problem lies somewhere in ct-lib. First step would be to
create a (broken) test case. Well, step zero would be to test with
RC10....
