Okay, that is a bug.  I will try to prepare a patch.  Is this a real
problem for you (i.e. your setup is tripping this bug), or a
theoretical one you found via scripts or something?  If it is a real
problem, can you give me more context (e.g. NIC model, firmware
version)?

Also, I am going to need a proper "your name <address>", unless you do
not want your name in the patch.
