    Subject: kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c in linux-2.6.21-rc6
    
    process_input_packet() treats the case where the first byte is 0xff
    (PPP_ALLSTATIONS) but the second byte is 0x03 (PPP_UI) as indicating a
    packet with a PPP protocol number of 0xff.  Arguably that's wrong
    since PPP protocol 0xff is reserved, and the RFC does envision the
    possibility of receiving frames where the control field has values
    other than 0x03.
