As I recall that is pretty much the code you are running now.
I believe I put that in proto_tftm.c ...

He had a home brew one.

Hmm..  That sounds peculiar but bugs are certainly possible.

I believe we are talking about RFC2090...  And except for a little
bit of option negotiation to put the data on the multicast channel
it is exactly like normal tftp protocol wise...

It is more likely that proto_tftm.c or possibly atftp needs to be bug
fixed.  I don't know that either of them has had any interoperability
