Correct - that is how I recall it as well. I think he acknowledged the third
(TCPv6 checksum calculation) later, but it may not be in the same month.

Yes I have been a constant list member ever since 2006.

So what happens next - I think that the bug fix should go to the other branches
as well, since the tool prints the wrong values.

What will happen to the other two - I'd be glad for clarification since I am working
on a further improvement to the DCCP checksum computation (this is independent of the
other patches): the problem is that if snaplen is not large enough, checksums will 
appear incorrect. If possible, I'd like to merge that with the variable-length checksum
patch.

Do I need to resubmit patches to the list?

Thanks,
Gerrit
