Subject: Re: PATCH: tcp rfc 2385 security/bugfix for sparc64
Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2007 18:47:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200710161848.18443.2500@gmx.de> (raw)

Hi David,
while reviewing the tcp_md5-related code further i came across with another
two of these casts which you probably have missed. I don't actually think
that they impose a problem by now, but as you said we should remove them.
Matthias
