I just got access to a remote PC which has the problem, finally. It runs
Windows 2000, service pack 4.

This URL does not work, I get "siden kan ikke vises" (page can not be
displayed in Norwegian).

This URL works fine, I get the FreeBSD 7.0 TCP options test page.

This URL does not work, I get "siden kan ikke vises" (page can not be
displayed in Norwegian).

Good.

Your patch on
http://sources.zabbadoz.net/freebsd/patchset/20080309-01-tcp-options-padding.diff
fixes the problem for me, with SACK still being on as it is by default.
I would be much happy if this fix could find it's way to RELENG_7_0 and
errata.

Thanks a lot!

Cheers,
