Looks like I might've skipped a status update, but I'll try to fill in  
the gaps.

The TCP regression testing framework is currently at a state where  
using it to actually *do* testing should be viable.  Packets are  
constructed, chained, injected, and processed properly.  The TCP state  
machine is partially functioning (i.e. if its state is 'closed' and  
you tell it to send a packet with syn=1, it should move to SYN-SENT,  
etc.), and will continue development as pertinent tests are being  
written that require the functionality.

Yesterday I ran into some issues where, upon injecting a packet (for  
example, a SYN packet to initiate a connection) the OS would see the  
incoming response (SYN-ACK) and send a RST packet to terminate the  
connection because, as far as the OS's TCP stack is concerned, there  
is no open socket that the data would be going to.  Turning on the  
'stealth' feature, which should disable these packets, does not work  
on loopback.  Spoofing a source address also does not work the way it  
should, for some reason.  I'd really like the TCP tests to *not*  
require a second host to function, so this is something I'm going to  
have to nail down.

Aside from that, and a few typos here and there, things are coming  
along swimmingly!
