It has already been fixed in -CURRENT. Unless, of course, this is a different bug. I believe the bug you are referring to is the one whereby carp doesn't back out of allocations it makes on member interfaces correctly. > Is there a solution that works?

It's unlikely the fix will be MFCed to RELENG_6 because it involves some of the changes related to address refcounting which either break the ABI or are not conservative enough for -STABLE. BMS
