Rightfully so!

I still have the machine that I initially did this development on, but
it's been purposed as my NAS so testing on it is somewhat awkward.

However, as far as I remember (why the hell are you doing this 5 years
later?!) the problem never occurred on my machine. Perhaps on Johannes
Stezenbach's machine? I don't recall, but see emails in my inbox from
him related to alx WoL.

Good luck with that, heh.
