The function 'etharp_update_arp_entry' just sends the first pbuf enqueued for sending (but pendign because the ETH addr is not yet known).

As such, this would be a bug in how the first pbuf is sent, not a bug in our ARP code.

Obviously, I can't reproduce this. Please investigate your code and report any real issues you find.

Some context:
  * lwIP used in mainloop (NO_SYS == 1) mode
  * problem only appears once on first ARP message
  * on call to pbuf_free with this pbuf an error will be raised

If this error is ignored everything will work after.

Hello,

In lwIP version 2.1.2, in a call to netif_linkoutput() from etharp_update_arp_entry()/ethernet_output() the 'pbuf' structure passed as second argument has an incoherence in its 'tot_len' field: it has a value of 54, its 'len' field has a value of 42 and the 'next->len' field has a value of 50 ('next->tot_len' if also 50).
