The emulation of the Linux UDP calls in 2.2.5 is broken, unfortunately. 

If you can, upgrade to -stable.  If this isn't possible, you should be 
able to build a new Linux LKM by replacing the files in your system's
/usr/src/sys/i386/linux with those from -stable, then going to 
/usr/src/lkm and saying:

# make
# make install

(You will have to reboot after this).  The files from -stable you need 
are available from 

 ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-stable/src/sys/i386/linux

Sorry about this.  If you have an opportunity to install the 
FreeBSD-2.2.6 beta when it arrives (a couple of weeks at most) and 
check Matlab on it we would be *VERY* appreciative.  

We would like to be sure that as many as possible of the shrinkwrapped 
applications that are available work properly on 2.2.6 before it's 
released.
