>Description:
tcpdump core-dumps in print-cdp.c when a CDP packet is received:
Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error.
cdp_print_addr (p=0x3b60b7 "", l=13)
at /usr/src/usr.sbin/tcpdump/../../dist/tcpdump/print-cdp.c:174
174 num = EXTRACT_32BITS(p);
This is on both, sparc and sparc64 with NetBSD-1.6 and possibly others
where unaligned 32-bit access isn't allowed
>How-To-Repeat:
Start tcpdump and wait for the switch to send a CDP packet
>Fix:
Add -DLBL_ALIGN=1 to CPPFLAGS in /usr/src/usr.sbin/tcpdump/Makefile
