Subject: RE: [Patch] Establishing more than 64K outgoing TCP connections

Hey,
I"m not kernel hacker and I don't want to be.
I stumbled on something and I fixed it.
That's not my focus or interest.
I've spend  a couple of hours on it, just to unblock my project.
That's all.

What was a complete surprise for me was fact that
something so fundamental can be broken for so long.
After wasting some time on your mailing list I know
that it is not technical issue.

You've just destroyed the last remaining bits of hope of ever becoming a great
hacker, for I know I will never be able to know future patches :(
