But just to give another data point: I see FreeBSD machines running 2.2-current (3.0) immune here against being pinged o' death in my network here but the machine doing the ping got amnesiac after doing it once or twice. (no buffer space available). This machine might have been under stress from supserver and mirror runs before doing that so I believe I should do that again on a freshly rebooted machine. --Chris Christoph P. U.
