Sort of.  Promiscous mode on the NIC and promiscous on the STREAM are
two different things.  Libpcap always uses promiscous *stream*, even
if the nic is not  promiscous.

I've inquired.  Thanks.

Also, it turns out that it was not a general libpcap limitation on
HP-UX.  There was too much on the stack, and the failure just happened
to be in libpcap.  One reader/writer and several writers does work on
HP-UX.

I was quite wrong when I thought the gdb strangeness was an artifact
of the compiler or debugger -- it was the root problem.  The reason
gdb couldn't access the frame was the same reason that the program
crashed.
