Large IP packets crashing machines.

[jack at mcvax.UUCP]

The Sun 2 kernel had a bug, which made that long packets could
crash the machine. I believe this bug was referred to as the 'remote sunset'
bug, and that it was most easily demonstrated by sending a large
ICP echo packet (using ping, or something like it).

Does anyone out there know what the fix to this was? I'm experiencing
a similar problem with our Whitechapel MG-1 workstations, and wondered
wether the problem might be something along the same line....
