Just wait my next brain crash, and I'll post you the core file :-p
Should not take too much time, as I'm under heavy pressure at 
University these weeks, 
a segfault is higly expected shortly...
 
I don't how best we, I and Waldemar, could hands you a good, detailed 
picture of current stack inner working.
Guess it's time we add content to this little current/docs/develop/net/
stack.html page!

And/or you can ask specific questions, we'll try our best to answer 
them.

Testing IGMP is easy: we don't have any support yet!
But maybe you mean ICMP here, right?

Anyway, I agree, we need some reliable TCP/IP testing
tool. Maybe we can port an open-source one available in the Web 
wildness?
Who wants to hunt it?
