Kernel 2.6.29.6

The kernel encountered a problem with the remote site trying to Do Stuff (changing advertised window size without reason) and fixed it all by itself. It's a message of the informational level, not a warning. Previously the message read "Treason uncloaked" if that means anything to you or enables you to flex your search-fu.

Unexpectedly "shrunk" window

Grammatically speaking, the message should be "Unexpectedly shrank window." Shrank, not "shrunk," is the past tense of shrink.
