Well, I'm surely no expert, but receiving packets you sent _is_ a

This is exactly what he's doing-
Eli- you're not going crazy-
I was seeing the same thing about a year ago..
OS 9 - received self packet
Windows - received self packet
OS X - didn't receive the Broadcast sent to FF.FF.FF.FF
the project I was working on, I could just ignore the self packets..
later on, I did stumble across an OT option that sounded like
it enabled/disabled self receives of broadcast packets, but didn't
investigate since I no longer worked on that project.
Check out OPT_SELFSEND negotiation, with XTI_GENERIC-
my hunch is, for whatever reason (probably OT->Mach migration)
this default was turned off on OS-X.
