   Hello Ben,

Ok, so the bug was introduced in the 1.8.5 release it seems.

To bisect this, you clone the xorp project:

git clone 
git://github.com/greearb/xorp.ct.git


Then, in the newly created repository:

git bisect start

git bisect good xorp-1.8.4
git bisect bad HEAD

Now, compile xorp, install it and test.  If it is good, then just enter 'git bisect good'
and if it fails, then 'git bisect bad'.  Then compile, test, repeat.

Eventually, git bisect will tell you which commit introduced the problem.

Let me know that information and hopefully I can figure out where the problem
lies.

Well that was quite a learning experience :-).  And thanks for pointing out how to do this.   
The last two steps: 

Version tag: 14c29f6  Build Date: 2012-02-01 19:02 64-bit -> bad
 

/data/xorp/bug-trace/xorp.ct]# git bisect bad
 Bisecting: 0 revisions left to test after this (roughly 0 steps)

Version tag: 6711ba5  Build Date: 2012-02-01 19:46 64-bit -> bad


 /data/xorp/bug-trace/xorp.ct]# git bisect bad6711ba5156552bafdaffd8fbf2350c9b7c39d08e is the first bad commit

    raw-sockets:  Assume platforms support raw socket input/output.
    
    The old check tried to match on systems that did..but it misses
    weird systems (some arm-linux, at least).  So instead specifically
    exclude certain systems (mingw).  This might break Solaris, or perhaps
    not.

I hope this provides the information needed.
