Comment # 2 on bug 11184 from 
The problem is that the IPv4 taps (and probably the IPv6 taps) are being handed
the packets included in ICMP error packets.

We should probably start by not passing "error packets" to tap listeners; if
there end up being tap listeners that *should* receive error packets, we should
add a mechanism by which a listener can request them.
