Damn :(

I've worked up a patch to just change the hardcoded value (for future
reference by anyone reading this, I have pasted the patch to
0.6.5-13.el5_3.1 at the bottom of this email) but it may be a while
before I can get it onto live systems (one end has >100 VPNs).

I'm going to try to get our dev team to take up writing the proper
patch, but I'm not holding my breath :)


Thank-you very much for your help. I could have spent a lot of time
staring at this, and not gotten it. You have pointed me at exactly
what I needed to know.
