Subject: PATCH: workaround for FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE
This is an UNTESTED workaround for an incompatible change in FreeBSD
4.2-STABLE that causes data to be lost when a client close()s a
socket before the server has accept()ed the connection. This screws
up the Postfix flush service, and may make some parts of Postfix
fail randomly under a heavy system load.
The UNTESTED workaround causes the client to wait until the server
closes the connection first. This makes Postfix slower than necessary.
The workaround is UNTESTED because I have no time to download and
install FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE.
To compile this UNTESTED workaround:
[ apply patch ]
% make makefiles CCARGS=-DBROKEN_FREEBSD_ACCEPT
% make
% su
[ type your root password here ]
# make install </dev/null
Someone can tell the list if this UNTESTED workaround actually works.
