FYI, the fix for RELENG_5 applies to RELENG_4 as is (apart from the CVS version header, of course):

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/netinet/tcp_input.c.diff?r1=1.252.2.15&r2=1.252.2.16&f=u

After verifying its semantic correctness for RELENG_4 we've been running the patch for a couple of weeks now with no ill effects.

I'm posting this also as an encouragement for committers to go ahead and do the MFC. It's low hanging fruit.

We tried applying that diff to 4.10, but compilation failed with

tcp_input.o: In function 'tcp_dooptions':
tcp_input.o(.text+0x21d8): undefined reference to 'TSTMP_GT'

Did you just define that macro?  Or was something else required?

Thanks for the help.
