Segmentation fault using the Packet::make(unsigned len) static function

There's no lower limit on the size of the payload. However, remember that
the data buffer will include extra space both before (headroom) and after
(tailroom) the payload itself. If the total buffer length is below 64 bytes
long, then Click will increase the tailroom until the size of the buffer is
64 bytes. See the programming manual for more info on headroom and
tailroom.

This sounds like a bug of some kind. Are you still seeing it? If so, can
you send more information?
