 The code that implements this `feature' is buggy.  It should not drop
 the packets, but rather, trim them back to just a SYN, as Solaris
 does.  (This potentially requires adjusting sequence numbers,
 depending on the contents of the packet.)  If implemented properly,
 there is no need for instrumentation.
