Re: Cisco Bug 44020 - Final Thoughts

[<bill.noren () paetec com>]

That's not what I said - sorry if I wasn't clear; see the highlight below.
I referred to "numbers", not "protocols" on purpose based on what I said
prior to that in the same e-mail.  I'm not a programmer by any stretch of
the imagination but I found it curious that the C library had no kind of
error checking for valid values in the protocol field.  It basically "did
what it was told".  And that may be incredibly obvious to some of you out
there so please be kind!

Cheers,
