I verified before with ktrace, and now, following your suggestion,
rewrote it in C, and result is the same.
When I change SOCK_DGRAM->SOCK_RAW it keeps getting some other packets,
sin_port doesn't seem to matter. Also, UDP is the practically important
case.
Unless there is some reasonable explanation why ip source address can
influence reception, I believe this is a bug in kernel. And pretty
important one, because it can hurt DHCP servers.
