So if you do something like

for I in `seq 1 100` ;
do
  echo $I
  globus-url-copy gsiftp://rb.be/etc/group - > /dev/null
done

it hangs after a few transfers.

Try unsetting the GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE at the client end and
see if that helps. And those ports are not open inbound.

There is also
http://goc.grid.sinica.edu.tw/gocwiki/gridftp_works_only_once_within_a_minute_or_so

which may give you some ideas. Of course this could be a completly
different problem.

This is new feature of RHEL3 kernels trying to be helpful and talking
rubbish. Ignore it as it happens everywhere.
