I compiled tinc 1.1pre10 for all my linux machines, just dropped in the 
new binaries, and restarted tinc. With 1.1pre10, all my linux machines 
are running and communicating just fine with each other.
I have one Windows machine on which I run tinc.  It sits behind a 
firewall (nat) and no longer will connect with the rest of my network.  
What I did was, remove the tinc service, uninstalled tinc 1.1pre9, 
installed 1.1pre10, made sure my exisiting config was intact, and 
reinstalled the service.

Here are some debug logs from one linux machine and my windows machine
