When we upgraded v162 to NetBSD-release-1-4 (26 February 2001,
NetBSD 1.4.3A), we ran into a problem with rarpd: it could no longer
find a valid entry in the /etc/ethers file for reverse translation.
We traced it down to a problem in the src/lib/libc/net/ethers.c file,
which the following patch fixes.

What should I do with it?
