    Hello Max,

    your patch works like a charme. One of my guys tested it on 2 boxes and it
    works now like it worked before. Speed is great again and we think about
    installing it on 2 production boxes where customers really have problems. Is
    it save to patch production boxes with it?

    Many thanks,

    Keal
