I checked the VPNC code and it receives UDP encapsulated traffic using
a normal UDP socket. So any bad checksums should show up in the
statistics and in fact the packets should be dropped by the IPv4
stack before making it to the vpnc application.
Something isn't right here. The only thing that makes sense is if
the tcpdump checksum validation is wrong for some reason. Because
only then could we give a reason for the UDP frames to not be
dropped before vpnc can see them.
