OK, but there should be something telling the user one way or the other
that the following is an error / bug message from the Linux kernel, (and
thus not some random program that the user installed), from the
component net/ipv4/tcp.c, and represents some condition that was
unexpected and should be reported to ... or is the user's own fault ...
and if he wants to google about it he is best to use ...
