This is exactly where I've been looking, but its extremely tedious to figure out what's going on given I'm not familiar with the codebase. As far as the bug being present in other kernels, we use OS X on some other servers and do not have the problem. Obviously this isn't a great test case since its closed source; just intresting to note that despite their shared BSD lineage something has occured in linux branch. Also we have a stock FC4 2.6.17 kernel in production and seem to have the same problem (although I have not done tcp dumps on these machines to verify its identical). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
