Some dialup terminal servers have problems with TCP options; turning
off TCP_EXTENSIONS is the easiest way to handle these terminal servers.

I asked for more info about the problems they were having with T/TCP
and never got much of an answer; since they don't say what the problem
they were having was it's hard to say whether or not it was resolved.

Recent (as in the last day or so) RELENG_3's should not need this patch;
the bug described has been fixed in another way.
