 I have applied the patch given in kern/10535 and it does not fix the
 problem I describe in kern/10575.  The systems seem to take somewhat
 longer to slow down accepting packets, but here is a typical ping
 between two machines on the same ethernet:

 This gets progressively worse until the ping times approach 16 s.
