Hi m0gely,

We're not currently looking at the OpenBSD gateway as the problem, 
rather that the Shrew 2.1.7 package (or a dependency) in Ubuntu 11.10 
may by broken.

It is a valid point to look at whether the gateway treats the 2.1.5 
requests and 2.1.7 requests differently.  Previous logs in the thread 
show that the OpenBSD gateway receives and responds to the Shrew 2.1.7 
requests properly though.
