Comments made for pre2.0.4 (who thought of that naming scheme?) says the the TCP bugs still exist. See my previous comments on this subject, but it sounds like they aren't planning on fixing the 'real bugs' until after 2.0 is released since they don't have the time to do it right, and they want to get 2.0 out the door. So, it's going to stay that way. Nate ps. Just so it doesn't sound like I'm Linux-bashing, apparently these new problems don't exist in 1.2.13 (or whatever the most recent 'stable' version of Linux is).
