So, reran and took traces. Data and packet dumps at:
https://kau.toke.dk/experiments/cake/longrtt/

There's two runs: the first one is what's in git now, the second one
patches the byte accounting to use the packet length rather than the
truesize, which helps a bit but is still inadequate.

The packet dumps and cake stats output agree: cake is running out of
buffer size. ECN is enabled on this test, and there's not a single mark
performed, but several thousand drops.

So something is definitely wrong with the buffer sizing.
