For what it's worth, I e-mailed him.  Thanks again.

I hope your e-mail didn't use any masculine pronouns when referring to Petra:

Oops, thanks for pointing that out.  Luckily, I only used "you" in my e-mail to
her and no gender-specific pronouns.

Not that it matters, as the Nokia unit whose appliances used IPSO was sold to
Check Point:

      http://www.checkpoint.com/nokia/welcome/index.html

so the mutant flavor of tcpdump (and probably of libpcap and possibly even the
kernel BPF code) now belongs
to them.

Well, if she's no longer the person in charge of open source at Nokia, there
might be a chance she knows who is and can either let me know or forward my
request to that person.  I won't hold my breath though.
