No, I don't think that is the problem. Where do you see the error message? One possible explanation is that this is a timing problem: the IPv6 initialization of 'lo0' is occurring before the system has set up the mbuf pool. I have seen this before, in early versions of Darwin, but I thought that had been fixed. What kind of machine are you using, and when did this start happening? Regards, Justin -- Justin C.
