Great, thanks ... just read the errata on zonelimit, and it seems to imply that 
it was fixed on the 12th of February, but (of course) it doesn't indicate which 
files ... I just did a new cvsup since my last one, and all that has changed is:

Updating collection src-all/cvs
 Edit src/lib/libarchive/archive_read_extract.c
 Edit src/share/man/man4/tap.4
 Edit src/share/man/man4/tun.4
 Edit src/sys/amd64/conf/SMP
 Edit src/sys/dev/wi/if_wi_pccard.c
 Edit src/sys/kern/sys_generic.c
 Edit src/sys/net/if_tap.c
 Edit src/sys/net/if_tun.c
 Edit src/sys/netgraph/ng_ksocket.c
 Edit src/sys/netinet/ip_mroute.c
 Edit src/sys/netinet/tcp.h
Finished successfully

Can someone comment on whether I just missed the commit on my last cvsup, or if 
I'm hitting the same problem but in a different way?

Thanks ...
