It works *without* any network installed, just a packet driver.  If
you don't know what a packet driver is, don't bother trying the
program - it is only for talking to packet drivers.  It issues an ARP
packet to some other machine talking IP, and prints the response.

The way malloc works, freeing up memory doesn't return it to the
system - it just puts it on an internal list for future reuse.
