In case Dima didn't get this off to you, there's a bug in
netinet/tcp_usrreq.c: tcp_connect()... the ifaddr is left
uninitialized in the case where in_pcbladdr() fails. The fix
is to check the error code from in_pcbladdr() and to return
it rather then fall through to the remaining code if it comes
back non-zero.
I stuck a printf() in there to catch the condition as well just to
see how often it occured... got about a hit every 10 minutes
on our (very busy) FTP/WWW server from ftpd.
Gotta quick question for you guys too: Is it safe to create
UFS partitions greater then 2GB ?
