i guess your kernel just doesnt work out enough.  heh

on a more serious note, here is an excerpt from the ipfw man page that may
answer your question:


There are circumstances where fragmented datagrams are uncondition-
  ally dropped. TCP packets are dropped if they do not contain at
  least 20 bytes of TCP header, UDP packets are dropped if they do not
  contain a full 8 byte UDP header, and ICMP packets are dropped if
  they do not contain 4 bytes of ICMP header, enough to specify the
  ICMP type, code, and checksum.  These packets are simply logged as
  ``pullup failed'' since there may not be enough good data in the
  packet to produce a meaningful log entry.
