Has anyone experienced a bug in any tcp implementation when the sequence
number crosses xxxx0000?  That is it gets stuck when the low order bits
go to all zeros.  A user has experienced this with another implementation
and we want to know if others have seen this before.  The other implementation
is Lachmann, UTS, but I want to know if it has been seen with -this- one
or with ---other--- implementations. 

Please reply if you have seen or heard of this bug in ---any--- implementation.
