Problem with Linux 2.2.5 FIN/NULL/XMAS block patch

I while back I posted a one-line patch to Linux 2.2.5 that blocks
FIN/NULL/XMAS scans. Please REMOVE this patch immediately, as it can cause
a RST loop if two machines with this patch happen to interact, resulting
in a possible DoS.

A fixed patch will be posted as soon as it is available.
