I'm not able to reproduce either the hang or panic problems here. I just
did a code review of the fxp driver's handling of the bpf_tap call and there's
nothing wrong with it. In short, I'm at a complete loss to explain the problem
you're having. A complete traceback with function arguments might be useful.
