It's working for me so far Rick, knock on wood.
You could always block or turn off port 9333 as a temporary measure and enable it later.
I should look at the code but I thought it would block the peer that sends bad shares before it went into it's loop that kills everything. I have a monit script setup to restart it when it starts to act up. Unfortunately Apple AirPorts cut the connection for a minute or so when changing that level of settings. I could just add an iptables rule..
