My workstation and another rebooted at relative times such that they
both tried to run "netconfig" at the same time.  Each machine claimed
that the other was on its address:

	duplicate IP address!! sent from ethernet address: 00:dd:00:85:2b:00

After a few seconds of this (6 messages), each chose the correct
address.  The other machine is "soup", running a netconfig dated Dec
13.  I am running the version now on the packs.

Hypothesis: one machine used the NIP response destined for the other.
