I just checked the sources for NETACP.EXE and NETDRIVER.EXE, and there was a single change between V8.4-2L1 and V8.4-2L3.

It was a change that I made that fixed a problem in searching the binary trees in the volatile database
for node entries.

That code is only used for searching the node entries themselves, since node databases can hold up to 63*1024 entries
and needed some form of optimization.

The other volatile databases (line, circuit, object, etc...) hold far fewer entries, and are not implemented as binary
trees.

I'm pretty sure the DECnet Phase IV code is not broken.
