It's not too likely to happen, would basically require crafted
packets (must hit the max guard in tcp_bound_to_half_wnd()).
It seems that nothing that bad would happen as there's tcp_mems
and congestion window that prevent runaway at some point from
hurting all too much (I'm not that sure what all those zero
sized segments we would generate do though in write queue).
Preventing it regardless is certainly the best way to go.
