I tried my best to troubleshoot them and provide ways to reproduce them. I posted my findings in Savannah: - https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56391 TCP FSM bug(s) - https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56390 Non-dual-stack aware DNS - https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?49531 HTTP Connection: close I haven't seen any activity in these for over a year, but that does not seem to be unusual for bugs reported to Savannah in general(?). However, from what I can tell, this mailing list seems to be getting a lot of activity and lots of progress being made (including recent e.g. the recent UEFI IPv6 improvements, yay!). So, I'm giving this a go instead in the hopes to surface those to the attention of more knowledgeable folks :) Thanks! Faidon
