Well, then, why is this only happening in the multi-thread mode? If it 
was a kernel issue, wouldn't it drop the packets in the same way for the 
single-thread version?

Actually, it's a test server (HP Proliant 360 with 16 Gb ram and 
quad-core proc), so nothing is really running on it. MongoDB is 
installed (but nothing is using it), monit and ssh are installed as 
well, and that's it.
The debian was installed with basically nothing.
