Can someone give a likely explanation of what could case this:

The second packet is what I actually sent: an echo request to my LAN's
broadcast address.  Can anyone explain where the junk before the first
packet has come from?  The packet is just a copy of the real packet but
with the four bytes "02 00 00 00" added to the front (tcpdump hides
this slightly by printing the source ethernet address first, though the
destination address is first in the ethernet header).  This bogus packet
doesn't appear if I run tcpdump on another host (i.e. the packet isn't
on the wire), which is what I'd expected (I've noticed it's normal for
broadcast packets to show twice on the source host, but this time it
just has some junk in front).

This is on a 4.0-stable machine, it also happens on 5.0-current.  The raw
dump file is attached.
