    That's what revision 1.109 was for, but I have only had 2 reports of this.

    Once the ARP rewrite is finished, and ARP is finally separated from the
    routing table, we will probably not see this any more.

    My theory right now is that a sockaddr_dl is being interpreted as a
    link-layer address when actually only the sdl_index field needs to be
    interpreted.
