	Sorry for the delay in response; was out of the office.

	My first question is whether this affect the "current_arp_slave"
behavior, i.e., the round-robining of the ARP probes when no slaves are
active.  Is that something you checked?

	I'll give this a test tomorrow as well.

	Is there a functional reason for rearranging this (i.e., did the
use of select_active_slave need this for some reason)?
