103: <a name=pfkey></a>
104: <li><font color=#009000><strong>RELIABILITY FIX</strong></font><br>
105: PF_KEY socket operations leak internal kernel resources, so that a
106: system running an IPsec keymanagement daemon like photurisd or isakmpd
107: will cause the networking subsystem to stop working after a finite amount
108: of time.
