Subject: [PATCH 2/6] [DCCP]: Bug in initial acknowledgment number assignment

Step 8.5 in RFC 4340 says for the newly cloned socket

           Initialize S.GAR := S.ISS,

but what in fact the code (minisocks.c) does is

           Initialize S.GAR := S.ISR,

which is wrong (typo?) -- fixed by the patch.
