>Description:
        For the IPSEC implementation the M_DECRYPTED flag is set in both cases 
(ESP and IPCOMP)
        if a packet is processed.
        This flag is used in /usr/src/sys/netinet/ip_icmp.c (line 246) to avoid 
sending an icmp error packet.

        In the FAST_IPSEC implementation this flag is only set after ESP 
processing.
        So if you setup an IPCOMP-only-tunnel, icmp error packets may be 
generated for the decrypted packet.

        Accedently the M_DECRYPTED flag is used in 
/usr/src/sys/netipsec/ipsec.c function ipsec_in_reject()
        to detect if a packet has been sucessfully processed by ESP. So this 
flag cannot be used
        for IPCOMP too in FAST_IPSEC.
>How-To-Repeat:
        Found by a look into the sources.
>Fix:
        I think another flag (e.g. M_IPCOMP_DONE 0x100000) is needed in the set 
of mbuf-flags, but I'm not shure
        if this is OK. Therefore I've adde no patch up to now.
        This flag should be added to M_COPYFLAGS and M_FLAGS_BITS too - as far 
as I understand the mbuf processing.

        I this flag is added, it must be checked in ip_icmp.c (line 246) too 
and set after IPCOMP processing is done
        int /usr/src/sys/netipsec/xform_ipcomp.c function ipcomp_input_cb() 
prior the call to the macro IPSEC_COMMON_INPUT_CB().
        This would introduce the same semantics in FAST_IPSEC as in IPSEC.
        The flag may be used in the IPSEC part too, but it is not nessesary for 
the functionality.
