Linus,
Please include this patch into a future distribution. It fixes a long-time
TCP Stall problem that occurs when routing between high-speed and low-speed
links like Ethernet and PPP.

This patch was provided by another, but tested extensively by me. I deleted
his name and text while cutting out this simple patch. I lost his name....
Sorry, it's a very good fix and he should get credit for it....

I got 2.1.33 up but it crashes my SMP machine. I'll keep you advised. I
think it's probably "finding" some hardware that doesn't exist. I will
reconfigure it and check further tommorrow.

Cheers,
Dick Johnson
