I posted a bug/problem/question/sample-code related to the SIOGIFGONF
ioctl function (the jest of which was - is it truely returning what it
should? i.e. the network interface configuration).  After a little more
prodding AND testing on NON-386BSD systems, I'm 90% sure that that this
call DOES NOT doe what it should on 386BSD boxes.  Can anyone confirm or
deny this for 
certain AND if so is someone already working on a fix???
Thanks.... Tim
ACK!
