I've turned off the TCO_QUEUE_OOSEQ and indeed the problems are over. 

I was thinking it is perhaps possible to optimize the oos queue some more:

If the data in a pbuf isn't much (and the pbuf must be placed on the oos 
queue), the data can be copied from one pbuf to another, thereby freeing one 
pbuf.  If the data is much the pbuf are chained together as it is now. 

If the data in the pbuf's isn't much, the penalty for copying is also not 
much. But there will be a lot more pbuf's free for reception, making the 
dropping of packets less.

I haven't had much time to take a look of the internals of the lwip-stack, 
therefore I don't know if it is possible.
