As part of the recent discussion regarding 2.0.30 I looked at pre-2.0.31-2 a bit more closely and found that the following patch did not make it in. I did not find it on www.linuxhq.com, so it might have been lost. Whoever makes a pre-2.0.31-3 please include it. Thanks.
It fixes a very annoying and hard to find problem with hanging ipx sockets. If you want to know more about the symptoms, please look at the readme of ncpfs-2.0.10. MANY thanks to Martin Stover who finally found it.
