Ilpo,

I applied the patches in order, no errors on that.  I compiled a stock 
2.4.24-1 kernel with the patches, I saw no errors there.

booted into new kernel, printed with tcp_frto=0.  set tcp_frto =2, 
restarted the network (is this required, or is this a dynamic setting?), 
printed from OO document.  No joy.  tcpdump log attached (almost 15 min. 
worth of data)

If you want, I can re-compile and double check for any compilation 
errors, however, if there were any, it was not sever enough to stop the 
compilation.
