Our vax 11/780 running 4.3bsd with an lhdh crashed shortly
after "imp going down" and "imp marked down" messages.  The
error was a seg fault and as I read (or misread) the crash
dump, the "marked down" message cleared the per imp hosttable
(sc->imp_hosts) while impstart was trying to read it (actually
impstart had handed the value to impstarthost, which is where
we croaked).

Does this sound familiar; ie, have we missed some bug fix?
We are running the networking fixes that berkeley announced
a while ago; eg, if_imp.c is version 7.5 6/8/88.

Thanks,
