When I ported the app (and rewrote the interface stuff), I was using 2.2.8. I know some things changed in 3.X -- although not enough to break the app. I'll look into the 4.0 internals to see if it has deviated further. I use wmnet all the time with no problems. But I haven't monitored the tunnel device in a while and my network card name is short enough, so I didn't catch the overrun.
