Synopsis: [icmp]: icmp socket receives icmp replies not owned by the process.

State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback
State-Changed-By: rwatson
State-Changed-When: Mon Sep 22 14:22:16 UTC 2008
State-Changed-Why: 
Request feedback based on correspondence to date -- the delivery of ICMP
messages to multiple raw sockets is historical behavior from the original
BSD network stack, and not considered a bug.  However, clearly something
has changed in the software configuration leading to the reported
symptoms, and a FreeBSD kernel bug is not precluded as perhaps some other
portion of raw IP socket input processing has changed and/or been broken.

Please let us know what further investigation reveals about the source of
the problem.
