>Description:
When i try 

/usr/sbin/arp -S IP 0:24:21:51:b1:1e pub

(where IP from my networks)

arp works successful and return errors message:

arp: writing to routing socket: Invalid argument

Some soft who analyzing return code (for example, net/mpd5 with proxy-arp settings) work incorrectly when doing system(3) for /usr/sbin/arp.

With 7x branch behaviors is fine
