 Hi again,
 
 just after submitting the bug report, I've found another bug in it!
 
 
 If the ipcomp_output() is not able to compress the buffer, it just 
 returns 0 and the Buffer "m" ist still there.
 (e.g. line 139, 161 or 174)
 But the calling stub routines  ipcomp4_output() and ipcomp6_output()
 will free "m" and return 0.
 So the caller cannot know it "m" is still valid on return or not.
 
 This will blow up the mbuf subsystem !!!
