Yes, no problem fixing the interface byte counter bug.

See my next email on the security stuff - it's worthwhile for one on it's own.

It would be great if you could split the patch, so I can merge them
separately. With the Layer3Forwarding + enhancements patch, I've
started to see "TimerThreadRemove failed!" messages, which weren't
there previously - I don't see anything against merging some or all of
the minor enhancements for 1.0 if they aren't causing this.

IIRC, this was converging on the "upnpd" name, rather than an
inconsistent set of names from init script, binary, UPnP service name
etc.

Thanks for your help!
