    I'm looking at the IP checksum code now.  There are two problems.
    First, it is making the assumption that the the memory loads
    in the __asm instructions do not mess with the carry bit, and, Second,
    it is using a union to transpose characters with words which is probably
    an illegal use of aliasing.

    I may just rewrite the whole damn thing in assembly.  That's what it
    almost is anyway.
