That's a combination of two things:

* You didn't compile it with `-DSTRANGE_BSD_BYTE_ORDERING_THING'.

* There was a bug in 4.4BSD with respect to *sending* raw IP packets
with an incorrect length in the IP header.  I've already fixed it.

BTW, the `-n' option doesn't actually work.  The `teardrop' code is a
bit buggy itself.  B-)
