byte swapped udp length in diskless bootp request ?

i was just trying to diskless-boot a -current kernel,
and when it was time for the kernel to acquire the address
i was getting the usual
DHCP/BOOTP timeout for server 255.255.255.255
Usually it is because of lack of connectivity, but
a bit of inspection on the server showed (as you can see
below) that the UDP len field is byte-swapped - the 05bc
in the packet is in little-endian format, causing the
server to reject it.
I am trying to follow the code in sys/nfsclient/bootp_subr.c
(which should send the packet) but it seemd to call sosend()
(at line 755) to generate the packet, so it looks really strange
that the bug is in such a central place... any ideas ?
If that matters, the kernel is cross-compiled on a 6.2-RC1
box using a relatively fresh source tree.
