hmm.. the code to increment that variable _was_ present. ... checked my CVS
tree, it was removed between 1.11 and 1.12 revisions of pkt_buffer.c.

PACKET_STATS was implemented in 26th August, 2001, but the code to increment
the dropped counter was removed in 11th October, 2001. My ChangeLog shows
that this was the time when libol was branched to 0.3 and 0.2 branches. I
must have made a mistake.

I even received reports in the mailing list which shows the STATS message
with drops > 0. I've found this mail dated "Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2001 10:00:58
+0100" So the feature must have been there at that time.

I wonder how could that happen. ;(
