If you need to handle this condition, I have hacked a private version that
eliminates the duplicates (mail me). The price of this is maintaining a history
of recent packets, so it''s not appropriate for most situations.
It''s not particularly elegant, especially since the history is in a
fixed (at compile time) buffer.
