I applied the patch and the server is running fine now for 8 hours with th=
e
INVARIANTS kernel, including the Samba jail and SIP VM. I just compiled my
custom kernel and it looks like it is working too. Are there plans to get
this MFCed or even as Errata?

BTW, we got 2 other systems, also with userland NAT but different workload=
.
After an uncertain amount of time, mostly weeks, the natd starts to spin 1=
00%
CPU on these systems. Quick noobish workaround was restarting natd every n=
ight.
I saw your recent commits that applied some more safety in that area, do y=
ou
plan to MFC these as well? I can imagine that could help with my NAT probl=
ems.

Anyway, many thanks for your investigation and your fix, much appreciated!

   Michael
