kernel network interface incompatibilities between netbsd-4 and netbsd-5?



Are there known kernel network interface incompatibilities between
netbsd-4 and netbsd-5?

I mention this because in considering upgrading one of my servers from
netbsd-4 to netbsd-5 I noticed that a static-linked arpwatch binary
built on netbsd-4 was complaining about bogons on my network even though
they were not bogons -- they were all in the same subnet:

Oct 15 12:36:39 historically arpwatch: bogon 204.92.254.6 8:0:20:21:99:db
Oct 15 12:36:48 historically last message repeated 10 times
Oct 15 12:36:49 historically arpwatch: bogon 204.92.254.244 0:f:d3:0:5:83
Oct 15 12:36:50 historically arpwatch: bogon 204.92.254.6 8:0:20:21:99:db
Oct 15 12:37:05 historically last message repeated 14 times


I also noticed that unbound wasn't answering DNS queries ether, though
it didn't make any complaints.

Unfortunately the old netbsd-4 fstat is useless against a netbsd-5
kernel to see if unbound was actually listening on the right interfaces.
