:OK... Ugh. Any way to get the word "checksum" into that comment?
:I plead search-blindness.

:Was the result a rejected packet that didn't get transferred, or
:transferred packets with bad checksums?
:
:If the latter, then it's workaroundable in software, which might
:be worth doing... if only rechecking packets with bad checksums.
:I fear the former makes more sense, though. 8-(.
