this box is a Dell 2950 server/router running 7.2-STABLE. It has an  
onboard bce interface and four dual-port Intel PRO/1000 NICs, giving  
it 8 em interfaces. (Let me know if you want the boot dmesg.)

Reproducing the issue is as easy as setting net.inet.tcp.tso=1.

What's interesting is that I only see the issue on one of the eight em  
interfaces. That interface is connected to a D-Link DIR-655 WLAN  
router. When I tcpdump on the other interfaces with TSO enabled, I see  
no "IP bad-len 0" messages.
