It has been noted before by someone that SunOS 3.4 does
not check to see if the value of the ICMP mask
request is valid.  Supposedly Wollengong Win 3.0 for
VMS returns back a subnet address of 0x0000FFFF which then
causes the Suns to go into a broadcast storm.  You then must
disconnect the VMS Vaxen and reboot all Suns.
