Yes...
My TNT's lose the ability to communicate with their local subnet.
For example, a TNT with IP address 128.205.x.y/24 loses the ability
to communicate with any other hosts on the 128.205.x.0/24 subnet,
but everything else continues to work just fine.

This appears to be related to all of the ICMP traffic destined
for inactive IP addresses, which causes the TNT to be waiting
for many ARP replies.  I saw on another mailing list that Lucent
is supposedly aware of this issue, and is working on a software
fix.

In the mean time, I'm working on setting up some filters for
92 byte ICMP packets...
