found one place in kern/ipc_socket.c

in sonewconn()
------
         so->so_linger = head->so_linger;
         so->so_state = head->so_state | SS_NOFDREF;
         so->so_proto = head->so_proto;
         so->so_fibnum = head->so_fibnum;  <------  Add this
         so->so_cred = crhold(head->so_cred);
#ifdef MAC
         SOCK_LOCK(head);
         mac_create_socket_from_socket(head, so);
         SOCK_UNLOCK(head);
#endif
--------
and in netinet/tcp_syncache.c
in syncache_socket()

change the following:
------
         inp = sotoinpcb(so);
         inp->inp_inc.inc_fibnum = so->so_fibnum;
         INP_WLOCK(inp);

         /* Insert new socket into PCB hash list. */
------

and see if this helps
(it may not, there may be another code path I'm missing).
