  Modified files:
    sys/netinet          tcp_input.c 
  Log:
  The TCP code did not do sufficient checks on whether incoming packets
  were destined for a broadcast IP address. All TCP packets with a
  broadcast destination must be ignored. The system only ignored packets
  that were _link-layer_ broadcasts or multicast. We need to check the
  IP address too since it is quite possible for a broadcast IP address
  to come in with a unicast link-layer address.
  
  Note that the check existed prior to CSRG revision 7.35, but was
  removed. This commit effectively backs out that nine-year-old change.
