That's true, but I think Rick has a point in that there should 
be some sort of (different) counter counting this.  In general
I believe every point in the stack who drops a packet should
have a statistics counter so that it can be later diagnosed.

Rick, the best way to get such a counter in is to just send a patch,
don't ask for it.
