It is a bug if it behaves differently, without question.
Can you give a trace of a bad case? The code looks fine to me, but if I am shown a specific trace I may be able to see the bug.
Please, this is an issue I have with many bug reports. The text of the report uses a lot of non-specific wording, "SIOCGIFCONF with NULL arg gives different results on sparc64 than i386" That is great and gives me the gist of the problem, but without a specific trace of arguments and results and a description of what is specifically expected in this traced case compared to what actually happened, I do a lot of guessing to work on a fix.
