Every few handshakes an unknown flag is reported. It
happens so often that you might wonder that maybe it's
an 'updated' handshake.

The flags in question are:
Unknown flags in handshake: ffffff8000000000000000
Unknown flags in handshake: 6578000000000000

    These are caused by clients that don't follow the protocol exactly or have
    additions to the protocol.

    Here is my brief count of log file:
    $ tr '\r' '\n' < current.log |grep flags |sort|uniq -c
    156 Unknown flags in handshake: 0000000000100000
    986 Unknown flags in handshake: 6578000000000000
    58 Unknown flags in handshake: ffffff8000000000000000

    To see which flags should be considered as important to handle!
