Interesting - this makes the NI explanation less likely since the bug report says UDP multicast traffic is a likely source for the unexpected data. But it runs counter to Mike's (one of the most knowledgeable VxWorks experts on the planet) successful use of a UDP-focused patch to fix the problem.

Agree with the need for a rewrite - that is some nasty looking spaghetti code!
