Wow, this is pretty interesting -- any more data you might run across would be very useful.

If you are getting such floods too, this is why. This is currently discussed on the botnets@ list, as raised by Cox, and I figured I will float it out here. No patch is currently available from Microsoft, workarounds are available.
