I know Thomas Ptacek from Secure Networks documented
some findings that when an overlap occurs that the
following list of OS respond accordingly.  Has anyone
else verified this or have any insight?  

I did notice a posting on a mail list server that said
Ptacek's findings were inaccurate, but was unable to
find any other published data on the topic.

NT and Solaris favor OLD data when an overlap occurs.

HPUX, Linux, and BSD which favor NEW when it is a
forward overlap (otherwise they favor OLD). 

thanks.
