Martin:

Thanks for checking out SCTP for netcat... let me
see if I can re-create this bug with current and figure
out what is broken... This sounds like a bug with the
TCP model..

I will be a bit slow.. I am on vacation this week and for
some crazy reason my wife thinks I should be working on
putting in a yard instead of working on the computer :-)

I can work only limited times in the AM when everyone
is still asleep :-0


So to recreate this.. I set things up run it
and ctl-c the client?
