Thanks ! From what I understand (unfortunately I could not watch the match)
both teams played very well, and it was a close decision by a "golden
goal". Hey, that's what sport is all about...

Yes. It fixes a bug in the flow control module. This stopped your
bulk data transmission in certain cases.
Plus: it fixes a number of other bugs that have been reported to me
by Michael Tüxen (mostly when handling some error conditions was not
standards conform).

Your application was okay, and running it showed a bug of the
sctplib. I tested it with the rc3 release of sctplib around 50 times
and it never stopped. The rc2 release did stop every once in a
while, just as you reported.

So: good job !

Thanks again,

Andreas
