	I was testing with the final patch just before my personal
holiday adventures began, and was having one problem: the ARP monitor
part worked fine on the VLAN (the slaves were up) but regular traffic on
that same VLAN, e.g., ping, was dropped on receive at the bond.  The
peer (without bonding) saw the traffic, and responded, but it appeared
that ARP replies from the peer (again, over the VLAN) weren't making it
to the ARP table (at the bond end), so everything that depended on the
ARP table wasn't working.

	I'm willing to believe this is a personal problem at my end, but
I haven't determined the cause, and won't have the opportunity until
next week (after my house has drained of relatives).

	If Andy isn't seeing the above misbehavior, I'm fine with
assuming it's my problem and applying the patch; if I find something
actually wrong with the patch next week we can address it then.
