  The only stack I've seen use source quench is the old Mac stack, 
and it sent 'em gratuitously.  Funny -- I can't bloody well remember 
how I found that out.  I must've shared a LAN with a Mac at some 
point.
  I just wanted to point that out, to those who see lots of 
"quenches" on the Internet.  I'd never advocate dropping all ICMP.
