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.

The only relevant branch is the x.9 branch (the other branches are dead; nobody's going to make an 0.7.x release), and, as Ken Bantoft indicated in recent mail that he'd "like to see [a 1.0 release of libpcap] out for Halloween, or a week sooner, if that works
for everyone", there might not be another x.9 release, either.

What will happen to the other two

The other two what?  Patches?  As per my mail:

having submitted three patches last year on this list which were accepted but
apparently never made it into the repository,

No, Hannes Gredler checked them into the main branch near at the end of 2006 - and acknowledged at least two of them in an e-mail reply to the list (I only found two patches, the first of which fixed the DCCP bug and added support for variable-length checksums).

so I'm not sure what patches of yours *haven't* been checked into the main branch by Hannes. Are there any? If so, which ones are they?
