The draft proposes to change TCP's reaction to soft errors so that
connections that are in the SYN-SENT or SYN-RECEIVED states are aborted
upon receipt of an ICMP error message that indicates a soft error.

I have verified that Linux behaves in a way compliant to this
proposal.  No changes are necessary.

Great! Thanks for your confirmation.
BTW, do you have any record of how long Linux has been behaving this way? 
(I'd like to include this information in the draft).

Even 2.0.x kernels behave this way.  Others are welcome to
search back even further :-)
