Michael and I have developed a fix here at
the IETF.

at least with pf=0 dac=1 and off=1

We will next test with pf..

I will commit the code to Head...

I can also send you a 7.x version tarball.. not sure if it will
compile (it will work for 7.1 I know for sure)

Let me know if you want such a tar..
