Hi Anthony --
I am curious about the use of B1NATS in the code
around this patch. Under what circumstances does
this get set/used? There is similar unat code in
fast_tick (default off) and fast_reflect (default on)
and I am wondering if similar unat changes are needed
and whether it is now OK to turn on HANDLE_AR_UNAT
(which is now default off).
Thanks,
Dan
