Eddie,

Here's a script without FromHost that generates an oops. This oops
doesn't hang the machine though ...

AddressInfo(MyEther 00:11:25:2D:7D:33, RemoteEther 00:11:25:47:EA:7B,
          MyIP 10.1.1.2/8, RemoteIP 10.1.1.1/8, BroadcastAddr 10.255.255.255);

FromDevice(eth0) -> SetPacketType(HOST) -> ToHost(eth0);

splsrc::InfiniteSource(
DATA \<aa bb cc dd ee ff>, LIMIT -1, STOP true);
splsrc -> ipenc::IPEncap(222, MyIP, BroadcastAddr);
ipenc -> ethenc::EtherEncap(0x0800, ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, MyEther);
ethenc -> q2::Queue;
q2 -> ToDevice(eth0);

-Vivek
