I am using FreeBSD 1.1.5.1R and found the same problem with the proxyarp
option. However I found that the above fix did not work for me. After
a little experimentation I found that by changing line 480 from:
mask = ((struct sockaddr_in *) &ifr->ifr_addr)->sin_addr.s_addr;
to:
mask = ((struct sockaddr_in *) &(ifreq.ifr_addr))->sin_addr.s_addr;
did the trick. I suspect this is of academic interest only.
