Mike, good day.

Can't say that I am pushing much traffic through my box, but after
applying your patch and rebuilding the kernel I am still seeing the
messages like
-----
TCP: [209.132.176.NNN]:NNN to [144.206.NNN.NNN]:NNN tcpflags 0x19<FIN,PUSH,ACK>; syncache_expand: Segment failed SYNCOOKIE authentication, segment rejected (probably spoofed)
TCP: [201.90.65.NNN]:NNN to [144.206.NNN.NNN]:NNN; syncache_timer: Response timeout
-----
But what had changed is that the lines with the 'syncache_timer'
started to appear.  There were no such lines prior to the patch,
only the 'failed SYNCOOKIE' ones.

But the patch received only half a day of testing, so I will continue
the tests and will inform you if some other information will be
available.  Up to date I don't see problems that had appeared without
the patch, but they tend to show up after a midnight ;))

Thank you!
