We suffered a minor variant of this on StunDOS 3.5, where one could get mgetclr panics by essmingly exhausting the mbuf space. This sounds similar enough to make me suspicious. Can someone comment on the version of tcp/ip code used in SunOS 4.1.1? We only have sources for 3.0, and that's maybe BSD4.2 at the best (:-() --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | davecb@Nexus.YorkU.CA | lethe!dave 72 Abitibi Ave., | Willowdale, Ontario, | Today's featured dish: CANADA. 416-223-8968 | Sun-dried alligator.
