As I pointed out in my post earlier today timestamped at 2:29PM, I was 
using an XP SP3 host to perform my tests with, and it made no 
difference.  I also used BBR's DrTCP application to make sure that black 
hole router detection was, in fact, enabled on my XP box before 
commencing my packet captures.

I cannot explain why it made no difference, but at the same time I don't 
know enough about how WinNT's black hole router detection works to begin 
speculating at this point.  I do plan on looking into it, however.
