:I plead search-blindness.

:Was the result a rejected packet that didn't get transferred, or
:transferred packets with bad checksums?

:be worth doing... if only rechecking packets with bad checksums.
:I fear the former makes more sense, though.  8-(.

    Wait.  I could be wrong.  It might be checksum generation.  I just can't
    remember, you'll have to ask DG or Bill Paul.
