Or I can ignore it, like the net developers, since I have a workaround.
And then we'll see what other apps are broken upon 2.6.25 final release.

Really, folks.  Bug reports are intended to *help* the developers,
not something to be thrown back in their faces.

There do seem to have been a *lot* of changes around the tcp closing/close
code (as I see from diff'ing 2.6.24 against latest -git).

*Somebody* is responsible for those changes.
That particular *somebody* ought to volunteer some help here,
reducing the mountain of commits to a big handful or two.

Cheers
