 JFTR:
 
 A local workaround was independently applied to if_ethersubr.c in
 its rev. 1.221.  However, less used L2 modules such as arcnet, fddi,
 and token ring still suffer from the same bug.  Moreover, as already
 noted in this PR, other callers of m_copym() may get it wrong, too.
 
 Unfortunately, I neither suffer from this issue personally nor have
 free time to fully investigate and address it out of general interest.
 OTOH, financial support can motivate me to do so.  Granting the
 number of source files potentially involved (~45) and the amount
 of thorough testing requred, it would be not less than 10 hours
 worth of work.
