vpnc disconnects on Cisco PIX rekeying

[Mike McGinn]

We have a problem with vpnc dropping out when the Cisco PIX firewall it is 
connected to rekeys. I have done quite a bit of searching on the web and this 
seems to be a problem with vpnc version 0.5.3. According to the home page 
referenced in the vpnc manual page this has not been touched since 2009. Does 
anybody know of a newer version anywhere that does not exhibit this behavior? 
I am quite comfortable building from source if that is required. Alternately, 
is there another open source solution for connecting to these devices. The 
latest Cisco version I could find is a pig which refuses to compile with the 
current kernel.
