Re: Still something wrong with tcp_sack_option ()

Hi,

Noritoshi Demizu sent me a fix for this issue. Can you try 
this fix ? I'll get this committed to -current shortly.

It looks like because you run with larger windows, generating
a lot of sack holes, we ran into the sackhole limits that
caused allocation of a new sackhole to fail, causing the bug.

thanks !
