Thanks for accepting the patch. In the future, how would you like the
patches submitted so you don't have to do it by hand?

I looked at the patch and one thing needs to be changed. The tl_model
variable doesn't get set until line 1001, but we are using it in a
conditional expression in line 979. The block of code from 979-990
should be moved to around 1008.

Sorry about the confusion.

I have no problems with the patch - that watchdog code was added
before someone pointed me to another document which mentioned the "get
protocol" command.

Added as r2242 (I had to apply the patch manually, but it looks the
same).

Thanks for pointing this out,
