Right now it looks to me like the app is arping, and it can be fixed
by increasing the size of the storage it allocates in its data segment,
without changing the sockaddr_ll.

Maybe others, haven't bothered to look.

struct sockaddr_ll me -> union { struct sockaddr_ll xx; unsigned char yy[32]; } me;

Note: Hal's change requires arping to be recompiled too!
Can't stick 20 bytes into 8 there, either.
