stp timer fix, linux version 2.4
PATCH 1/1 stp timer fix, linux version 2.4
In kernel 2.4, br_record_config_information update message_age_timer with jiffies in the past. In 2.6 is already fixed and a similar fix appeared in v2.4.35.3.
sorry if you receive this twice, I had problem sending to the list (I think my previous mail got filtered)
