It happens.

Well a really good heuristic that packet-iscsi.c doesn't currently
implement but should be very reliable would be only recognise iSCSI
headers whose digest value is correct. Of course, this would require
both the initiator and target to implement header digests.

If that would be useful I can implement it, please advise.
