Eric, will surly do but perhaps we should wait till Hagen gets his
TCP_ADV_UTO part so we can update the man page altogether in a

I was just saying that it can result in unexpected situations.  The
user can increase and increase the timeout they use, but to no effect
because due to backoff the increase isn't adding any more probes at
all.

In any event, I've applied your patch, let's see how this goes.
