Ingo, Mike,

it's a great day :-)

Right now, I'm typing this mail from my notebook which has 8 instances of
my exploit running in background. Previously, 4 of them were enough on this
machine to create pauses of up to 31 seconds. Right now, I can type normally,
and I simply can say that my exploit has no effect anymore ! It's just
consuming CPU and nothing else. I also tried to write 0 to grace_g[12] and
I find it even more responsive with 0 in those values. I've not had time to
do more extensive tests, but I can assure you that the problem is clearly
solved for me. I'd like Grant to test ssh on his firewall with it too.

Congratulations !
Willy
