Hi,

I just sup'ed kernel source today, to build a kernel (and fsck) that groks
cleanly-unmounted filesystems.   I haven't rerun config, but I
recompiled all the .o files in a kernel build directory.

To my dismay, the resulting kernel can't  arp.  It responds to arp
requests, but trying to send *out* a packet via ether results in
"arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo" messages.  Simplistic debugging
of arpresolve() shows that |rt| is nonzero but the corresponding |la|
isn't.

If it makes a difference, I recompiled fsck but ifconfig is still
pretty old.

Anybody have any idea what's going on?  Is this maybe due to recent
size-of-{char,short,int,long} changes to the netinet code??

In any case, ``help!!''
