Hi, I have a patch for FreeBSD 8.x / 9-CURRENT that plugs an mbuf leak in the new arp code that needs review and further testing. Find a longer description of the problem at the beginning of the patch. There is a lot of context in the patch; if you want a shorter one, apply and re-gen it. If you want to see the current problem, log in to a remote 8/9 machine and repeatedly type ... over that connection (you need to be su): arp -ad > /dev/null ; netstat -m | head -1 Watch the first number. Warning: doing it too often will make that machine panic eventually. Here's the patch: http://people.freebsd.org/~bz/20090831-01-plug-new-arp-mbuf-leak.diff Thanks for your help in advance. /bz -- Bjoern A. Zeeb What was I talking about and who are you again?
