My customized vmps server section works in 2.1.0.
Trying to use the same customized configuration in 2.1.6 gives the
error.

Using the default configuration - the 
VMPS-VLAN-Name = "please_use_real_vlan_here"
one, works in 2.1.0
In 2.1.6, it returns the error.

Yes, the part to pull the mac address out of the ethernet frame, putting
it in the vmps-cookie, updating the reply with the vlan name /
packet-type - the default config.

On a clean machine I've just compiled 2.1.6, done minimal editing to
enable the vmps server (linked the vmps file into sites-enabled), and
i'm getting the same error.

Output with 2.1.0:
Vlan: please_use_real_vlan_here
MAC Address: 123412341234 
Status: ALLOW

With 2.1.6:
Ready to process requests.
	VMPS-Packet-Type = VMPS-Join-Request
	VMPS-Error-Code = VMPS-No-Error
	VMPS-Sequence-Number = 4660
	VMPS-Client-IP-Address = 127.0.0.1
	VMPS-Port-Name = "Fa0/1"
	VMPS-VLAN-Name = ""
	VMPS-Domain-Name = ""
	VMPS-Unknown = 0x00
	VMPS-MAC = 12:34:12:34:12:34
