Fair enough.  The original context to this message was Jeff Altman asked
the original poster if there was a firewall was returning ICMP messages,
or was it silently dropping the packets, _that's_ why I said, "Hey, I
don't think this matters for OpenAFS".

BTW, don't most operating systems return ENETUNREACH if there is no
route to it, or not answering an arp?  Should that really be in a Linux-only
#ifdef?
