Whoops, didn't realize this was -current, haven't had my coffee.

Sorry -- this topic has been bashed around a lot on net@ over the past 
few months.

If multipath support is something which really concerns you, there are a 
number of issues which have to be solved. There are a number of ways you 
can get involved, but probably the best and most direct way is to learn 
C and start hacking the code yourself -- it is open source after all and 
people seem to forget this.

Good luck.
