I'd been waiting for a reply to Chris's questions because I
had this 'neighbor table overflow' message popping up at all
sorts of times (during installation, while booting, while
viewing a manpage, while entering something on the command
line...) when I installed woody from a CD a couple of weeks
ago. (I reverted to potato for this and other reasons.)
I looked at the ARP manpage, but it seems to have to do with
networks (maybe I'm wrong) and I have a simple standalone
machine. Isn't there some other explanation?
