No, but I don't recall exactly what was wrong in addition to that.

If ARP_TABLE_SIZE is 0, there is no caching but in addition to that the
lwIP stack does not work well. For example when requested to send an
ICMP packet to an unknown IP (unknown as in "not yet resolved at the
ethernet level" i.e., ARP) and assuming ARP_TABLE_SIZE is 1, it will
automatically do the ARP request/response then proceed with ICMP send.
However if ARP_TABLE_SIZE is 0, only the ARP resolution occurs and the
ICMP packet won't go out. So I am not sure that 0 is a valid value.
