Hehe, but the ioctl will fail with that many interfaces so you'll still have the same problem. You would need to make the buffer larger than 42k for this case. The patch I sent was for version 5 but should be the same for recent versions of RHEL-4 v4.

Jeff is more familiar with the RHEL-4 v4 code than I am, I'll have to leave this to him. In any case we'd need to see a debug log.
