I tried this between pentium with a ne2000 and a sparc/SunOS4.1.3_U1,
two pentiums/ne2000 both running NetBSD, a decstation 5000 running
NetBSD and a sparc running SunOS 4.1.4, and a decstation 5000 and a sparc
both running NetBSD. I wasn't able to reproduce the bug.
All my netbsd boxes are running -current.
