I really don't understand why you keep claiming that the SYN cache
changes anything.  Without the SYN cache, tcp_input() calls
sonewconn(so, 0) on receipt of a SYN; with the SYN cache, tcp_input()
calls some syncache function which calls sonewconn(so, SS_ISCONNECTED)
on receipt of a SYN/ACK.  In either case, it's with the same interrupt
level, etc -- you are in the middle of processing a packet that was
received by tcp_input().

So, you're saying that what we're hitting is a design flaw in 4BSD
and that this problem has been there since day one?
