Hey folks,

	I hate to reply to my own [single-post] thread, but
I haven't seen any replies.  So, I went digging in the source.
Fear, because myself and C source don't always get along.  ;)

	In my very simple grokking of check_tcp.c, it doesn't
seem that the --expect flag really does anything.  Is this
correct?  If I'm misunderstanding things, please take no
offense - C isn't my native language.

	Developers, can you please comment?  Is this a work
in progress?  Or am I a potatohead?

Benny
