net-tools package patch for probe0 timer working status

Description of problem:
The display of "netstat -o" (on|off|keepalive|unkn-X) is not accurate. 
I think that "unkn-4" should be "probe0" that is working "probe0 timer 
(= ICSK_TIME_PROBE0 status = TCP Window Size is Zero) " in kernel.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
net-tools all version

How reproducible:
When TCP Window Size is zero (= network load is high), execute "netstat -o".
  
Actual results:
$ netstat -atno 
...

Expected results:
$ netstat -atno

Comment 1 Zdenek Prikryl 2008-10-15 06:45:32 UTC 
Seems reasonable, I'll use only "probe" instead of "probe0", because '0' could be confusing for other users.
Comment 2 Masaki MAENO 2008-10-15 07:01:08 UTC 
OK. Please use "probe".
