Hello,
I was trying to debug (using gdb) the application that I am trying to
port from UNIX to NT.
I have made a strange observation, when the following call is made:
	
	ioctl(fd, SIOCGIFFLAGS, (char *)&ifr)

The value returned in the member ifr.ifr_ifru.ifru_flags is different
when I just run the executable compared to when I run it in the
debugger.
	ifr.ifr_ifru.ifru_flags = 34 (executable)
	ifr.ifr_ifru.ifru_flags = 99 (in gdb)
As a result, the following condition
	(ifr.ifr_ifru.ifru_flags & 0x1) ---> indicates that interface is up
always returns TRUE (correctly) in the gdb but returns FALSE
(erroneously) as the executable.
 Why are the flags returned with different values ?
Is there a bug in the command ?
Thanks for your help.


Regards,
Ashish
