rc.37 apparant icmp bug

Hey Peter,
If you could get a packet capture that would be great!!!!

If the ethernet address matrix is not the same for both packets, we may
decide to zero out the addresses.  That is  if the record was generated
by clustering two uni-directional flows using a program like
racluster().  The merging logic, if its non-preserving, will zero out
fields that don't match.  But if this is from argus, the probe should  
give
us the two ethernet addresses from the first packet.

It maybe that the ethernet addresses are in the record, but the client
is not processing them correctly, so if you can send just the one
errant record, that may be all that is needed to fix the problem.
