I ran dmesg on our proxy server and found some lines containg:

TCP: Treason uncloaked! Peer 216.218.159.148:80/52920 shrinks window
2903563063:2903567443. Repaired.

*I noticed that the IPs were of friendster's site.

Anyway, I searched google and found out that it had something to do with
timer.c. Some of the people were even concerned if it is a possible DoS
attack for it can potenially overload a server.

So far, I haven't come across a clear answer or solution to this problem.
-- That is, if it really is a problem that I should be concerned of :)

Any idea?
