Hi!

The network hang problems disappeared after upgrading to 1.6I on 9/30.
Before the upgrade the hangs were regular, and we could also produce
one by forwarding about 1GB of data through the host. The uplistptr
messages were not always present during a "network halt".

With 1.6I it has worked flawlessly (knock on wood), and we are not
able to reproduce the problem. Maybe it was just a Bad Source Snapshot (tm).
