Exactly the same for my '260. The LANCE refuses to receive further packets
after having received 3 (three) packets. Can be checked with defining
TEST_HITS.

Ok, then this is not processor dependant.

init executes some shell scripts and bash is dynamically linked...
Anyway, I am going to clean up my source tree a little bit.
