  Modified:    sys/net   slcompress.c
  Log:
  When cslip gets an uncompressed packet, it attempts to save off the TCP/IP
  header for use in decompressing subsequant packets. If cslip gets garbage
  (such as what happens when there is a port speed mismatch or modem line
  noise), it will occasionally mistake the packet as a valid uncompressed
  packet. When it tries to save off the header, it doesn't bother to check
  for the validity of the header length and will happily clobber not only
  the cslip data structure, but parts of other kernel memory that happens
  to follow it...causing, ahem, undesired behavior.
