So, I pulled the source, commented out the sanity checks that force
talkd to say "talkd[13554]: recvfrom: bogus address length". WIth this
commented out it said "bogus address family". With *this* commented
out, it logs lines such as "Oct 3 23:44:56 voltron talkd[15391]:
::a00:205:0:0 (0.0.0.0): unintelligible packet"
There's the problem! That looks suspiciously like (part of) an
IPV6 address -- I think it is not specifying the address type, is being
given the IPv6 address, and is thoroughly not IPv6 compatible. I'm
going to look into this, if not tonight then pretty soon. I'm assuming
it'll be a 1-line patch to specify IPV4 only. (Well, 3 lines maybe if I
patch the broken username in Bug 250971.) I think this will also fix
250975 (Ytalk hangs). Ytalk does hang, as a direct result of talkd not
working.
