While trying to hang it up, I met that occasions several times when my
CPU and HDD were heavily pressured, especially with ZFS filesystem and
vfs.zfs.dirty_data_sync=2GiB -- it can buffer up to 2GiB of data, before
trying to release it to the disk. In that cases NNCP timeout can occur.
But that is just highly loaded system and far from being real-time Go's
goroutines scheduling.

I will add waiting of checksumming in next releases. If someone does not
want it, then he should use -nock anyway.
