I don't think it's really a local workaround though -- if a writable mbuf is
needed, m_dup is the correct call. The "general solution" is to use m_dup w=
hen
it is necessary to do so.

m_copy was removed in:

    Remove the 4.3BSD compatible macro m_copy(), use m_copym() instead.

There are 81 instances of "m_copym" in the tree still, across 41 files.

> less used L2 modules such as arcnet, fddi, and token ring still suffer fr=
om the same bug.

These are all gone.
