Most excellent.  This patch 100% fixed my problem.  Thanks a ton!

On a side, informational note:  I was also having problems transferring
large files (~600-700MB) from the outside world into my internal network;
after a few hundred megs, the gateway machine would crash & reboot.

It turns out that it was bad memory.  What's weird about it is that I
couldn't do anything else to crash the machine; just these long transfers.
Oh well.  It is okay now!

Thanks Again.
