I suspect this can go wrong anywhere, but it happens to have been a CBQ-triggered gettimeofday() while sending an arp that did it. (My ADSL router pretty much bombs the poor damn machine with ARP packets all the time.)

I hope this gives you a bit more of a clue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
