Kewl. I would love to see some sniffs. Any chance you can run tcpdump
from the Linux box when you send the query? Try:
tcpdump -w /tmp/statusquery.cap -s 512 udp port 137
Run the query and send the file (uuencoded is best) along to me.
I think, though, that you will find that the problem is local to your
systems. I have seen no other report of it and my own stuff seems to
work. Can't imagine what's wrong but I'll look at the query packet to
see if I can spot anything.
