The incoming packet address is checked for a match against the local interface addresses to avoid processing its own packets. The IPv4 implementation used the same code but only initialized 4 of the 16 bytes of the address in the recv function. The interface initialization code in netsock_set_interfaces set all unused bytes to zero but recv_alfred_packet was modified to use 12 random bytes from the stack.
Both functions must work the same way and first set the address bytes to zero and overwrite the actual used bytes with the address bytes. Otherwise, the result of netsock_set_interfaces for own packets is random in the IPv4 implementation.
