We had also problems with sendto.  We ran BITNET software (urep, daemon,
... ) on SUN-3/260 with os version 3.5.

daemon sometimes crashed machine on BITNET connection creation but after
reboot connection was created ok.

Panic was bus error due reference vai scratch pointer in sendto-code.
Problem seems to be somekind corruption in system tables.

We get around the problem by moving BITNET software to machine with
SUN-OS4.0.
