Version: 0.4.0-2
Severity: important

Hello,

the dead peer detection patch is probably wrong. This problem is mentioned on
the vpnc homepage as "vpnc looses connection with some targets, even before
the rekey-timer expires most probably due bugs with keepalive,
dead-peer-detection or something else...".

The problem is that vpnc exits with "connection terminated by dead peer
detection" even though the peer is alive and the connection is ok. A very
small packet loss is enough to trigger it. Also, unplugging the cable for more
than a few seconds makes it quit as well. This is a nonsense, removing the
patch makes it work fine.

The patch should be either removed or the feature should be made optional. In
my case, the behaviour is more than unwanted. Even if it worked fine with
small packet loss, I'd like to be able to unplug the cable for e.g. 2 minutes
and be able to continue the work then.
