Assuming the scenario in the above:


     Router B
       |P::b
       |
       | Point-to-point link, P::/64
       |
       |P::a
     Router A


If some nastie sent a packet with source= P::c, destination P::d, you
might end up in an endless ping-pong loop of ICMP error messages, or...?
(does the "no icmp error sent due to received icmp error" prevent this?)
