It's getting a bit off-topic here, so feel free to move this thread along to
the netfilter list (we both seem to be reading it ;-), but what exactly does
the window tracking patch address?
Since you call it a 'patch' I take it it's not in the vanilla kernels from
kernel.org, so chances that we're running it are very slim. I wonder if we
want to patch the kernel now or not...

PS: Downside of taking this to netfilter is that that list is a bit slow, and
this list is fast - it takes over an hour before posts on netfilter actually
appear in you inbox :(
