 My guessing is that this messages comes off when a packet in wrong byte order
 enters in_cksum().
 
 Starting with 10.0, our stack doesn't change byte order of IP packets, so
 if my guessing is right, the bug should vanish.
 
 We do not plan any more releases from stable/8 branch. Thus, I'd like
 to close the PR if you don't mind.
