	Would it be possible to get Solaris patch 105529-08 added to the
Athena release, hopefully in a patch release over IAP?  This patch
installs a new version of the Solaris tcp driver, which fixes a problem
I ran into yesterday, and which I believe Dan has seen on moira before:
It's possible to get the machine into a state (running a port scanner on
it being the most common way) such that killing inetd will instantly
panic the machine.
