I was going to say that Andrew Gillham's description of the problem was
even more accurate and lucid than mine, but I note that the rarpd I am
running already includes the fix from PR#4835 (plus minor cleanups):

	14:25 [355] $ diff /usr/src-1.3.2/usr.sbin/rarpd/mkarp.c /var/sup/sup.NetBSD.ORG/src/usr.sbin/rarpd/

and yet I still have problems.  Either Andrew's problem isn't exactly
the same as mine, or PR#4835 doesn't actually fix it.

There are much more extensive changes to rarpd.c in -current though, so
on my next crash I'll try it:

	14:26 [357] $ ident /var/sup/sup.NetBSD.ORG/src/usr.sbin/rarpd/rarpd.c
	/var/sup/sup.NetBSD.ORG/src/usr.sbin/rarpd/rarpd.c:

	     $NetBSD: rarpd.c,v 1.30 1998/10/06 15:50:30 fvdl Exp $
