Sorry, this is not acceptable. This is *not* a bug with "my" infrastrucuture. It occurs regardless of what network I am on (and I should know, I have a laptop). It is a bug with the kernel's handing of tcp window scaling and it is a severe bug because at least 30 percent of the sites around the world become inaccessible with it.
