Hi all,

	It is taking me longer than my hoped-for 1-week to recover
from my knee reconstruction: I won't bore you with details.  With some
dose juggling (codeine by night, caffeine by day) I should be back
from now on.  To those who sent their well-wishes: it does make a real
difference, thankyou very much.

	However, the kernel waits for no one.  My previous round of
patches are still not in the pre- kernels (Marc sent them to the list,
and they're on netdev, expect them in pre-6).  My main concern now is
the DoS found so ably by Alexander Demenshin: this is nothing new, but
I'm sure we can do better.  Expect a patch this weekend.

	The IRC tracking work done by Daniel Stone needs testing and
porting to the new kernel, and the RPC tracking module by Marcelo
Barbosa Lima needs wider testing.  Marc's TCPMSS is also on the
TO-MERGE list.  There are other minor nits to scratch, many in my
inbox already.

Thanks all!
Rusty.
