Greg Troxel has been helping me look into why my laptop with NetBSD won't do this right. No solution yet, but, for what it's worth, it seems that venus keeps trying to send UDP packets from the same IP address, and on the same interface it used when it first connected to the server. If the machine has been moved or reconfigured, so that the original address is no longer present on any interface, venus cannot send, and the "sendto" syscall returns to venus with an error status indicating this. I'll be trying to figure out where that address and interface binding is lurking, which may, of course, be in a NetBSD bug, since I'm running -current from CVS there, too.
