Yep, but does it also sit below WTP? In which case the patch won't work... My
understanding is that the WTLS layer sits above WDP/UDP rather than directly

Any chance you could drop a copy of the traces to me so I can test locally?

Yep. I've got some code in the works, but nothing ready for release just yet.
