Potential spiped 1.6.4 release -- please test



Hi spiped users,

I've just uploaded a tarball which may be (modulo version number update)
spiped 1.6.4.  Please test this -- even if all you have time to do is check
that it compiles on your platform, that's better than nothing, but running
'make all test' and/or testing with live usage would be much better.

You can download the spiped code at
    https://www.tarsnap.com/spiped/spiped-1.6.3.99.tgz
and the tarball has SHA256 hash
    5f7da4bdfc4528ac6812b7ca741689ba1438e998f257518da3a2d2479b94b4fd
.  You can also see the tree from which I rolled this almost-release at
https://github.com/Tarsnap/spiped if you find it useful to crawl through
VCS history.

Significant changes since 1.6.3:
* Fixes a bug which can cause spiped to abort of a RST package arrives
  from one side of a pipe at the same time as a FIN packet arrives from
  the other end.

Assuming nobody finds any problems (or the problems are things I can fix
quickly and easily) I'll roll the official spiped 1.6.4 release in about
a week.  As always, Tarsnap bug bounties apply to issues found in spiped.
