#906: Need tcp_max_above_hole_without_any_acks to be redefinable

 Reporter:  carsten     |       Type:  Problem

Milestone:  Bro2.2      |  Component:  Bro

------------------------+---------------------
 In my scripts, I must redefine tcp_max_above_hole_without_any_acks from
 scripts/base/init-bare.bro.
 Currently I have to patch the source for doing it, as the constant is not
 redefinable from a script. The fun thing is: the documentation even says
 "If set to zero, then we don’t ever give up.", which you currently cannot
 do from scripts.

 Please change inside scripts/base/init-bare.bro from
     const tcp_max_above_hole_without_any_acks = 4096;
 to
     const tcp_max_above_hole_without_any_acks = 4096 &redef;
