Thanks for taking a look at the patch. The patch should be backwards 
compatible with TCP, though as you've observed there are still issues 
with stalls and crashes (I've only so far done limited testing within my 
testbed).

I was able to replicate the stall on one of the VMs - so I'll take a 
look at what might be happening. Thanks for letting me know.

cheers,
