Hmm... I installed pre5 on all my boxes (I was getting targeted for
that nice ip_fragment attack) One problem I have with it is that
it dosn't tell you which forged source address sent it. Only useful
if you have multiple ingress routes, and want to tcpdump to find the
mac address it's coming from... or find if it's a local machine!

Anyway, the only prob I have with .32-5 is my news server SCSI dislikes it..
I got crashes during mount/umount and fsck with something like
scsi0: called recursivly from interrupt!

(Yes, I know that's wrong, but I'll be dammed if I can grep out the
right printk in the source tree. I'll crash it again tomorrow
evening, but I need the box up right now.)

Useful stats: 2.0.32-p5, AHA-3940-WIDE controller, both chains in use.
(1 wide, 1 narrow) P133 with 128 meg ram on a HX chipset board.

BTW: apparently syslogd was running, but it only logged:
Nov 16 04:23:08 news
Nov 16 04:23:08 news syslogd: Cannot glue message parts together
(many times) before it exited with a SIGTERM... (probably a
ctrl-alt-delete)
