I'm not fully sure whether I like this or not, but I can see the necessity
if tun.ko is just not working in certain circumstances.

I'd very much like to hear from "GUI authors" for MacOS X about this,

and should this go into a soon-to-be-released 2.3.2, or is this "long-term
future" material for 2.4?
