Hi Pavel,

yes, like someone, somewhere will get data corruption in a TCP connection because the checksum is quite weak and networking hardware ain't perfect.
Once the probabilties become small enough then it is normal to accept imperfection in operating systems. If I could make it perfect I would, but I haven't thought of a way to do that while being absolutely sure of maintaining the full strength of the legal defence.
If you find a way to actually produce this problem in a way that is realistic for Linux users then let me know. Otherwise I think it is the best option we have, imperfect though it is.
Cheers, Tridge
