    Hello Joe.  Jeff and I have been looking at it.  It looks like your
    panic occured after a fragmented packet got reassembled.

    Are you running any special protocols, like IPSEC or anything like
    that?

    If you have a kernel core still around we may need it to help diagnose
    the problem.

:My box crashed today with the following panic:
:
:panic: bad TCP data offset 24 (tlen 22)
:
:I was experiencing some packet loss just prior to the crash.  I was
:running nmap on my access points IP address and stepped away for a
:minute.  When I returned Xorg was frozen, no keyboard or mouse
:response then the machine rebooted.
