      Hmmm. It seems that it might be better to add in the laddr if it
   contains additional variable information, but I don't see how not
   doing so would be a degenerate case when having a lot of IP
   aliases. The faddr, lport, and fport are still just as variable as
   in the non-lots-of-aliases case, so the hash distribution should be
   the same.

Good point, but alas there was a reason I considered it useful to add
in the laddr to the hash, give me some time and I'll remember what the
reason exactly was (it happens to cost nothing anyways ;-).
