|  Ugh.  I'm thinking that I should back out revision 1.144 of tcp_output.c,
|  until we have a test program that excersizes these corner cases and fixes
|  for the bugs.  I'm pretty sure that backing out the patch will not stop
|  a carefully crafted program from panicing the kernel, but at least
|  it will not happen so easily.

Please back it out.
