This patch is already in 2.2.19pre8. Because the IPVS patch is
against 2.2.18 the hlen-check patch is provided for the LVS users.
It fixes some holes in the masquerading and in the transparent proxy
that can crash the deMASQ server (portfw/mfw) or the LVS server. You
will not need it for 2.2.19. If you suspect your LVS server crashes
unexpectedly then apply this patch :) If you are just upgrading to
2.2.18 include it. You can make a new kernel just to feel better :)
