Uh-huh. Tested it on Linux 2.2 and 2.4, can't confirm the problem. It would be pretty strange, btw, since it simply generates normal UDP packet, no black magic, really, and remote system, unless there's comast service running, politely responds with 'ICMP destination port unreachable', which is translated into 'Connection refused'.
One extra thing I haven't underlined so well in my announce: cisco routers (and as well as other ones maybe) start crawling even forwarding the flood not being the target itself only. Looks like an UDP handling problem for me :( I have managed to kill a 7513 Cisco Router with DCEF enabled and loads of other speed hacks.
