This has been brought up on the list a couple of times before (by me and
others) and no one has yet come up with a reason for it (BTW, you're one
of the lucky ones to run your port at 57600, I can't even pull THAT off -
which is why I took my machine to work to be a Quake server, hehe). This
does not (reportedly) seem to be a problem with RedHat 3.0.3, which may be
related to userland stuff or may be related to the different kernels used
by the two distributions (assuming they are different - I don't have
access to a 3.0.3 distribution).

Does anyone know what version of the kernel 3.0.3 was using?
