What changed in networking between 2.3.99-2.4.0test4?

I'm trying to get CIPE running under 2.4.0test4 and it crashes in a
number of strange and reproduceable ways. It worked under 2.3.99-pre3.
The crashes seem to have something to do with receiving packets (in an
adapted version of udp_recvmsg()) and it looks like they could be
somewhat related to timing. Config appended.

What has changed in the 2.3.99pre->2.4.0test range, esp. in the
datagram receive path?

Olaf

PS. Is there a known issue with memset() in 2.4.0-test4? It looks like
it can corrupt adjacent memory ranges. Compiled on a K6 with gcc 2.95.2.
