ypbind/NIS broadcast problem?

Is anybody else seeing a problem using ypbind on Raw Hide configured to 
search for a NIS server via broadcast?

My test box is failing to find a server here, eventually giving an RPC 
timeout error (on a network where every other non-Raw Hide box is 
working in the same configuration).  Using the FC4 ypbind executable on 
Raw Hide shows the same problem.

>From looking at tcpdump RPC calls are being sent and replies are being 
received, but from strace the poll() call on the socket in ypbind is 
always timing out.

Any ideas?
