Thanks for the interesting writeup and patch!  It's not really clear which
is "better" in general--the current fixed string behavior or choosing new
random packet data for each packet.  There are (tiny) advantages and
disadvantages to each.  But it is good that your patch is available in case
anyone ever encounters a need for that behavior.

Cheers,
Fyodor
