 |  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.
