I'm having a hard time setting 0.7.17 up with 2.6.16. Specifically,
I'm seeing

drbd0: [drbd0_receiver/25303] sock_sendmsg time expired, ko = 4294967295

all over the place and I have applied the patch that Lars posted a few
days ago on the list that I thought was addressing this issue and I
have no web100.

Unfortunately this is my first time to integrate heartbeat and DRBD,
so it's quite possible that I made a pilot error. I'll switch to the
SVN version now and start from scratch and will report what I find.
