This fixes a bug + where child processes kept tcp connections open and caused + connections to fail when only one side can connect. + - fixed a bug in receive sequence checking that made gvpe + accept out-of-window packets in most cases. + - tighter limit for the maximum sequence # to avoid overflow + conditions + allow more headroom for packet reordering. + - replace some asserts that trapped config mismatches by + more useful log messages. + - fix spurious extra newline in some log messages. 1.9 Tue Apr 19 06:21:50 CEST 2005 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
