Just for the purpose of noting the original source of the file (I operate
the WireTapped site), this particular file came from:

ftp://ftp.technotronic.com/unix/protocol-loggers/tcplog.c

Short of actually removing the file, I've added this information and a
cautionary note of the problem at line 107 to the file on wiretapped.net

The home page for this is at:

Having seen this posting, I've now updated the DeleGate file on WireTapped
to 5.9.5, the current version:

        http://the.wiretapped.net/security/firewalls/delegate5.9.5.tar.gz

Hope this adequately addresses the problems you've raised,

Grant
