I assume here "too invasive" means "too much engineering effort"? It sounds like a clean fix, not too invasive at all. But I can understand wanting a stopgap in the meantime. > - Turning the capability side-band-64k off completely. This would remove a useful > feature for users of non-affected transport protocols. Would it make sense to turn off sideband unconditionally on Windows when using the relevant protocols? I assume someone on the list wouldn't mind writing such a patch, so I don't think the engineering effort would be a problem for that.
