  Protect against DOS attack with recursive jumbo packets

Receiving side of the old network code allowed jumbo
packets inside jumbo packets recursively, though such
recursion is never needed. Handling such recursion
could easily lead to a crash of the receiver.
Malicious sender could craft such recursive jumbo packets
to crash servers or clients.
The fix simply disallows recursive jumbo packets.
