Go for it :-)

Yes, at least we've managed to lose all the people who wanted 2.4.x support.

In this case I actually suspect the problem is that our code now puts port==0
in bindx calls - which is only allowed after the fixes that went into 2.6.22 (ish).
But our support group are trying to get them to upgrade our software to
the 'supported' version - which won't make a blind bit of difference.
We're also trying to get them to upgrade to something later than RHEL 5.7
but that is probably even harder!

I wish I had a list of the very bad SCTP bugs and the kernel versions
that fix them.

We only use it for M3UA - so there are very few connections that are
established very infrequently.
I suspect the error paths don't get stressed.

I don't want to start testing SCTP - I might have to fix the bugs in
the copy we 'stole' from FreeBSD and hacked into the windows kernel.
