Mac OS X Troubles

In the process of adding multicast file transfer support to Chungles, I'm seeing success on linux and windows, but odd issues with mac. For some odd reason, when I send out a file via multicast, an enormous number of packets are dropped, far beyond anything reasonable. A lot of times the initial header packet won't even get sent to the multicast group. Even more odd, macs receive multicast packets just fine. I've tweaked every imaginable setting I could, and tested on 10.3.x and 10.4 with a cluster of XServes on a very reliable network and on my macbook. So I guess it's off to hunting down some apple guys to see if they have any insight. This is the main thing right now holding up the 0.3 release.
