Great news! Thanks for verifying this and reporting to the list. Also thanks
to all who submitted the bug report.

It looks as though the best way to fix this would be, as mentioned, to use
the older pcap polling code and disable the selectable fd code for MacOS.
Remember that there are actually 2 places this needs to be done in the file.
(One for the ARP handling code and the other for the IP handling code).

Best,

Doug
