But I am not using DHCP. Maybe there are other machines in the LAN (it is
a *big* LAN) trying to get their addresses using DHCP, and now -CURRENT
shows a message whenever detects one of those packets. I will try to
identify the senders (over 40!).

Anyway, these "0.0.0.0" ARP messages are new in -CURRENT, and none of our
machines running FreeBSD 4.x show them.
