Subject:   openvpn problems under week-old 4.6 stable

I just installed openvpn 1.3.0 on my FreeBSD 4.6-stable system, hoping to
connect to a coworker running openvpn 1.3.0 on a RedHat 7.2 system.  I'm
dialup, he's on a cable modem.  Everything went smoothly until I tried to
ping the RedHat box (I used 10.2.0.1 for my system and 10.2.0.2 for his).

I start openvpn in one xterm like this:

openvpn --remote hercules --dev tun1 --ifconfig 10.2.0.1 10.2.0.2 --verb 5
--secret /usr/local/etc/openvpn.key

His machine name (hercules) is defined in /etc/hosts as 10.2.0.2.  Via
ssh, I start openvpn on his machine in basically the same way (my machine
name, and transpose the ip addresses).  It apparently starts just fine,
but the moment I try to "ping 10.2.0.2" from my machine the openvpn
process starts printing
....
3853: write to UDP: No buffer space available (errno=55)
3854: write to UDP: No buffer space available (errno=55)
....
forever, until I interrupt it.  The leading number starts at 1, by the
way.

Attempting to ping 10.2.0.1 from his machine silently does nothing.

Would anyone successfully using openvpn under a recent FreeBSD care to
comment?  I'd greatly appreciate any help.
