Hi Conrad, Nice catch! And thanks for your patches! As you're a new contributor, I just wanted to let you know your patch is in the pipe now and will be reviewed and tested as soon as some of us are ready to process it. And based on a 10 seconds look, this does look correct - we just need to need to do a little test run first. -- kind regards, David Sommerseth OpenVPN Technologies, Inc
