Hi,

I just saw this message on German Usenet that, summarized says:

,----[ from usenet article ]
|
| www.netbsd.org can't be reached without ever timing out.  The reason for
| this is that a gateway throws away non-standard packets received from
| www.netbsd.org.  Reference:
| http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=3D20461
| "When the TCP timestamp option (RFC 1323) is used
| the extra 12 bytes aren't taken into account when creating a packet so
| the packet ends up being 12 bytes larger than the maximum segment size
| announced by the correspondent host + 40 bytes for IP+TCP headers"
|
| If the user uses
|
|        sysctl net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=3D0
|
| under OpenBSD or FreeBSD, the page is loaded normally.

`----

Without having investigated this at all, does anybody here know if that
is actually the case and what, if anything, we can do about this?
