I sent it to [email protected] on Monday and it indeed seems to have made it to the case log. Perhaps a transient mail problem prevented it from reaching all eventual recipients... I'll let Kacheong reply to the rest.

It seems reasonable, but I do have some questions: 1) Can an ill-behaved application cause bad things to happen to the TCP stack by setting RTO or abort timers too high? I'm specifically thinking that by setting these timers to a large value, that it might be possible to cause out of control consumption of resources or exhaustion of TCP port numbers.... 2) Perhaps setting some of these values should require a privilege? 3) Ultimately, have the implications of these changes been reviewed from a security standpoint?
