Anyone knows >what's wrong? Thanks. This was discussed (to some extent) aboust a week & a half ago in -current. It seems (pointed out by Alexander Leidinger <Alexander@Leidinger.net>) that -- for some of us, at least -- "sysctl -a" (used in the entropy harvesting by /etc/rc -- fails to terminate. Also (again, for me) "sysctl -N -a" outputs a (non-terminating) stream of net.inet.accf.373 lines using my (slightly customized) kernel, but with GENERIC, it exhibits similar behavior, but outputs a stream of net.inet.accf.372 lines. Unfortunately, I'm not sufficiently clueful to figure out how the notion of what sysctls exist on the system could get so confused as to do that. Given the behavior, though, my current (wild) guess is that some code is stomping on a data structure in a somewhat configuration-dependent way. Clues would be quite welcome....
