< please respond to erik@vt.edu , as this machine is still confused about
  it's address.  Thank you >

I have a program that creates a raw socket, and sends out packets on it
to another machine in a local network.   

This program works under 1.2.10.   When it is used under v1.3.17, the
raw packets are forced to a protocol of '2', no matter what protocol
is placed in the raw packet originally. 

The system is ELF based.   Compiled with Gcc 2.6.3 from the slackware elf 
distribution.  

thank you for your time.
