How about the following:

	1. EGP is now sending datagrams greater than 2048. I know, I've
	   received them.
	2. In order for this to happen, 5 or so fragments are generated
	   "back to back shall we say", assuming 512 byte fragments.
	3. We are now exercising a bug in new PSN software which cannot
	   handle soom magic number of back to back packets on a
	   particular channel?   Resulting in a channel that is RFNM
	   blocked, it never clears, and the host is prevented from sending
	   on that particular channel.
