Hmm, what happens if a opposite dir ACK gets sent (it's zero sized seqno
range will be above urgent sequence when urg is not yet acknowledged)? So
we'll take the later branch after your change and send bogus 0xffff urg?
I think you're change might have actually broken bidir tcp completely (and
probably window probing as well under some conditions). Congraz, two flies
with a single stroke :-). You would have needed an additional check that
the tcb->seq is below urg...

...Below is a patch but Jeff might need to revert the revert first if
he tests with the latest Linus' tree.

[PATCH] tcp: check that we're still < urg instead of sending a bogus one

Opposite dir ACK with zero sized seqno range can go into the
later condition once urg is in the outstanding window not
yet acknowledge (we're still in urg mode but seqno we sent in
the ack won't be below snd_up). Need to check that we never
advertize bogus urg for a segment which is after the snd_up.
