freebsd stable - Mar 2009 - Appeal for active bug reports relating to TCP, UDP, routing locking in 7-STABLE

Dear all:

With 7.2 approaching, I wanted to review the set of known network bug reports 
(especially panics, hangs, lock order reversals) relating to TCP, UDP, 
sockets, and routing in 7-STABLE.

If you are aware of problems along these that you can confirm definitely occur 
with 7-STABLE checked out no earlier than 17 March, 2009, please drop me a 
private e-mail with a pointer to the thread, PR, or a reminder that you've 
sent me the details already.  If you don't have a PR open on the problem, 
opening one and forwarding me the receipt so I can grab ownership would be 
most welcome.

I don't promise I can get them fixed by the release, but doing a review and 
prioritizing the bugs that are known is a useful step in that direction.  I am 
specifically not interested in device driver-related problems, not because 
they shouldn't be fixed, but because there's only so much time in the
day and
it appears folks like Pyun have it well in hand :-).

Hi Robert,

Could you please have a look into PR 133572? It's pretty critical for
me (no incoming VPN to the office).
Looks like related to this posting for me.

If more info is needed, I'd be happy to provide. Including an ssh
access for you, or person you name.
