I confirm that your patch seems to work, and work well, between Linux machines.
Of course it does, this was my experimental test bed ;-)
However, there seems to be a problem when communicating between Linux machines and Suns. Linux seems to agravate a silly-window syndrome on the Sun.
Ok, interesting.
Here is the result of reading the character-generator on a Linux machine. every time the received packet-length changes, results are written. Otherwise, there is no output from the program.
Ok, these data points are real nice. However (as I mentioned in another mail to this list) it is insufficient for me to fix things. I need tcpdump output which logs the session showing the bad behavior. It is also nice to get a tcpdump of good behavior as well, especially when talking to one TCP implementation shows the problem and another which doesn't.
So I ask politely that you provide me with tcpdump traces of sessions exhibiting the bad behavior to SunOS machines. Thanks. ;-)
