Thanks!  I've just updated my installation here to the new kernel and
userland and it seems to work fine so far.  At least, ARP and IPv4 seems
to work without any noticeable problem the last few hours :-)

I have one minor question though (still reading through the diff, so I
am not sure if this is `normal').

The new netstat output includes a `Use' column that seems to be ever
increasing:

: % netstat -rn -f inet
: Routing tables
:
: Internet:
: Destination        Gateway            Flags    Refs      Use  Netif Expire
: default            192.168.1.1        UGS         0     5338    re0
: 127.0.0.1          link#4             UH          0     1292    lo0
: 192.168.1.0/24     link#2             U           0        2    re0

Is this expected, or does it look like a leak?
