>Description:
	A rather large number of tcp routines begin with
	COMMON_START(), which can cause them to return EINVAL when
	inp_ppcb is null. In at least one system call, shutdown(),
	EINVAL is supposed only to mean that the second parameter
	is unacceptable.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Read the relevant source and documents.
>Fix:
	Either the documentation needs changing or the code does.
