We encountered a situation where serial line ip code (from rick@seismo)
would crash our system (vax 780 running 4.2bsd).  Due to some changes
in the host at the other end of the line (and perhaps aided by some
noise on the line), we began receiving characters, but no FRAME_END.
The slip code exhausted the pool of mbufs by allocating them all for
the incoming characters, and we crashed, twice a day.  We finally tracked
down the problem on the other host, but to protect ourselves we now
drop packets whose length exceeds SLMTU (1500).
