>Description:
      When IPFW drops a packet with a missing or truncated header, it is logged as "Pullup failed" according to ipfw(8).  I think this should be changed to, say, "Header missing or damaged".
>How-To-Repeat:
      Enable IPFW, and then send a headerless fragment to the box with IPFW enabled.
