tcpdump says "truncated-ip"?
Below are three examples of tcpdump complaining about truncated-ip,
whatever that is. Is this a problem? It doesn't seem to impact my
connection negatively. I am getting these when using a plain-vanilla
openssh client to connect to an ssh-1.2.27 server.

inbetween:~# tcpdump -i eth1 | grep truncated
tcpdump: listening on eth1
