LTCBZID I-T Description 5151 30525 missed local link-up event 5144 30526 infinite error recovery escalation for certain port failure 5292 30527 unwary memory allocation during error recovery Two are trivially correct, but I have to verify LTC 5144. Description is sane, but patch has non-local effects.
