Sorry, I don't memorize the git SHAs, so not sure what version that is/was. :-)

Where does 21:3/2744 come in? You didn't mention that address in your intro.

Well, 21:0/0 isn't a local address on your system, so naturally it'll be packed up to be sent on... somewhere.

Now 21:0/0 does sound like a bad packet. Use a tool pktdump to inspect the packet more closely.

Are you running the latest and greatest SBBSecho on both systems?
