        Oddly enough, there is nothing peculiar about the mac implementation.
Upon compiling the mac source on two separate UNIX machines, the
resulting binary fails to crash an NT box.

        The obvious conclusion is that Apple's Open Transport somehow sends a
different packet than most other TCP/IP implementations.

        If I get the time to dig the packets apart, I'll post the results here
as well.
