    I've noticed this as well in my logs. In linux/include/net/tcp.h,
    TCP_DEBUG is turned on; in linux/net/ipv4/tcp_input.c,
    tcp_ack_update_window() contains the following:

    #ifdef TCP_DEBUG
    <snip>
    printk(KERN_DEBUG "TCP: peer %u.%u.%u.%u:%u/%u shrinks window %u:%u:%u. Bad, what else can I say?\n",
                                   NIPQUAD(sk->daddr), htons(sk->dport), sk->num,
                                   tp->snd_una, tp->snd_wnd, tp->snd_nxt);
    <snip>
    #endif

    Is it really necessary for TCP_DEBUG to be turned on by default?
