Subj : FreeBSD 4.3-RC buffer issue

Hello ALL!

Hoping this will get some interest going in this echo again - I'll be posting a 
few things about FreeBSD that come up as I run into them here; follow along and 
post questions/comments if you want.

First issue on the table:

-- FreeBSD-4.2-04112001-STABLE snapshot --

For those not aware, FreeBSD's source tree is released as a daily snapshot 
along all devel branches - with this cvsup, a problem was introduced, as 
follows.

nmap -sS -vvv -O 12.34.56.78

Will generate "sendto: out of buffer space .. waiting 15 seconds and retrying" 
errors. These are driver errors, not generated by nmap itself. If you've had 
similar problems, please let me know - I've had two responses from 
freebsd-stable@freebsd.org indicating that I'm not alone.

4.3-RELEASE, the production snapshot to be printed on CD-ROM, will be released 
on the 20th, and I want to make the FreeBSD team aware of this issue before 
that happens. 

How many BSD people do we have lurking on FidoNet? I'd be interested in knowing 
that :)

Cheers!
Brad
