The only problem that I have had with Julian's patches is interoperation 
with FreeS/WAN.  I am still not able to make that work, although I 
haven't worked on it in awhile.  The last I remember is that with the 
patches applied, the moment FreeS/WAN starts, all network traffic goes 
out the ipsec0 interface instead of continuing to be routed via eth0 (or 
whichever interface).  This happens without a tunnel brought up.  And 
for some reason, I was not able to assign a metric to the route using 
either the 'route' command or 'ip route'.
