Anyway the fix is pretty trivial if anyone using 3.2 or before is affected: you apparently just need to recompile a kernel. revision 1.13 date: 1999/05/16 17:09:20; author: pb; state: Exp; lines: +2 -2 PR: kern/10570 Submitted by: adrian@freebsd.org Change reference count in struct ifaddr to a u_int, to be able to handle more than 2^16 routes to the same interface. Fix suggested by Andrew Bangs <andrewb@demon.net> in PR kern/10570.
