ah, sorry - i checked the wrong thread for your mail!

(btw., could you please bump the default for max_interrupt_work up from 
6 to at least 30? Bursts of 30 packets isnt hard to trigger, it happens 
commonly on my box - and 6 are trivial to trigger and the messages look 
quite alarming to the untrained eye and the condition also hurts 
performance. Thanks!)
