Interesting that this did not lead to more complaints - for the fun of
it, I asked Gemini for "vendors with MACs that start with 0x50", and
lo and behold... Apple has a few blocks even... but anyway, good catch!

A look in the code (compstub.c) confirms that everything which is
not "...UNCOMPRESSED_BYTE" will lead to an error message + drop.

Haven't actively tested... but should be easy enough with --lladdr
and comp-stub-v2.

Your patch has been applied to the master and release/2.7 branch (BUG!).
