Is this bug specific to only using "arp -d", or does it look like the
"arp -d" tests identify a bug that might cause TCP/IP related crashes
with other types of real-world network traffic.
To rephrase: Does it look like fixing this bug may fix a lot of the
network-related crashes a number of people have reported?
