I hope so. As someone else (I forget who) pointed out here, p73 is
resulting in a lot of hung sockets for me. This reminds of the old days
of 0.99.13 before I added Fred's net2e patches, when I had to reboot
every day to clean up the jammed sockets. Say what you will of Fred's
work, but it was a real lifesaver for me at the time -- kept me going
right up until I upgraded to 1.1.36...
(the kernel is p73 with the eide patches, and the networking is over
slip. developer requests for more specific data are welcome.)
