I tried reproducing it now. I can't get as far down as 50 Mbit/sec,
but it stopped around 100 Mbit/sec, still without any clear bottlenecks.
cubic was just as bad, though.

I've taken two tcpdumps as requested; I can't reboot this server easily
right now, unfortunately. They are:

  http://storage.sesse.net/bbr.pcap -- ssh+tar+gnupg
  http://storage.sesse.net/bbr2.pcap -- wget between same hosts
