Will whoever is working on that do one of two things:
* fix it so it works properly
* remove it
The code I have seen so far in 1.3.84 is just plain broken, if it works
you're just lucky. There is no way it can be garuanteed to work in all
cases.
As I mentioned in a letter to the firewalls mailling list, TCP is a
BYTE STREAM; not any sort of record structured protocol.

p.s. in case you're wondering, the only reason I use linux is for backups
to tape of other systems
