I can't see any possibility of this patch (which simply replaces API and CGI
stubs, and doesn't touch any OS files) "hosing TCP/IP". The very worst it
could do is cause problems with CF and with your web server - which of
course would itself be serious, but that would be a different problem.
See, you're not missing anything by not being an engineer. I'm not one
either, but I know better than that.
