DUMMYNET.
>Description:
	When ip_output called within dummynet guts it takes
	cooked mbuf ready to be sent. In ip_output() local variable 
	`struct in_ifaddr *ia' is used to evaluate outgoing i-face counters, 
	but left uninitialized. (see compiller worning)

	In previous snaps this bug don't crash system. But
	dummynet hangs sometimes for the same reason.. I guess.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Send packet matches pipe rule.
>Fix:
