Interestingly, the initial ssh connection worked, the second one failed.
Subsequent attempts fail too.

This all over ipv6:

Both hosts run 2.5.65. hubert.ipv6.ds9a.nl (publically routable, so you
can try to ssh to me as long as I'm not asleep, the machine is next to my
bed) is a pentium pro 200. Kernel was make mrpropered before compiling,
virgin kernel.

Capture attached.

I've since let loose the excellent ethereal on this and found out:

So far so good.

These packets all have an identical csum of 0x680d, it is not being updated.
So, the SYN/SYNACK/ACK stuff went fine, the initial data however has a wrong
checksum. 

For completeness, I've attached the capture again.
