Yes, sorry, it was a typo.

Ooops. I guess I should have looked closer at the dates.  I was thinking
that this patch, or one similar to it was around for a while, as I seem to
recall a similar diff being posted to one of the lists a while ago the
specifically dealt with a way to ignore ICMP_REDIRECTs.   It is useful to
me in that Livingston Portmaster boxes dont deal very well (ie
consistantly) with ICMP redirects, and this would be one way of dealing
with this problem.

But yes, if its recent, I understand why you would not commit it so close
to a release date.
