Some TCP keepalives corrupt the extracted data streams about tcpflow HOT 4 OPEN

Hi. I understand that you cannot post the pcap from your confidential data. However, perhaps you can use the system in quest to create a PCAP file that exhibits the problem? If you cannot use the system in question, perhaps you could spin up a RHEL7 system somewhere? I simply cannot debug this without a pcap file that demonstrates the problem.

Thanks.

I'll see what I can do, but it won't be easy. It's not RHEL7 that I need mainly, but a system with that 4.2BSD quirk in its TCP implementation and I don't know which ones have it ...
I was hoping you'd immediately see the bug (remember how you reasoned about overlapping segments) but I wouldn't start changing that without test data, either ...

Sorry, I'm not familiar with this issue tracker, and didn't intend to close the isse. Reopen.

By policy, I won't make changes without having test data so that the bug and then the fix can both be validated.
