I'm sad to say, this didn't solve the problem. It still happens
exactly as before, and still goes away immediately if I run a tcpdump
on another console (but not if I do tcpdump -p).
I did add a printf when pn_promisc_war is set to 1 just to make sure
that it was being properly detected and turned on, and it is.. but
enabling the workaround all the time doesn't seem to help.
