We have a net full of fastpath 3's and fastpath 4's, with an Appletalk
Bridge (Shiva) connected as shown:


      ==================== Ethernet ===================================
            |                               |                     |
            |                               |                     |
       FastPath X                       Fastpath 3           Fastpath 4
            |
            | (localtalk)
            |
         SHIVA
        NetBridge
            |
            |  ZONEC


The Shiva Bridge publishes its own zone. (call it ZONEC)  This zone
is not known to the atalkad daemon that manages all of the fastpaths.

If Fastpath X is a fastpath 3, then all of the other 3's acquire ZONEC,
but none of the 4's know about it.
If Fastpath X is a fastpath 4, then all of the other 4's acquire ZONEC,
but none of the 3's know about it.

Each Fastpath seems to share ZONEC with only its own kind!
Fastpath X was made a core gateway for each test.

(The 3's run KIP and the 4's run K-STAR.)

Is there a explanation for this incompatibility??
