>Description:
kernel configured w/ ipv6 demonstrates mbuf/memory leaks on heavy
udp traffic. same kernel from the same sources exculding ipv6 from
the config does not expose any behaviour of a kind mentioned.
these particular and unfortunate errors started to appear
approximately in the early 20ths of december.
>How-To-Repeat:
have a kernel compiled w/ ipv6.
put substantial udp traffic on an ethernet iface.
observe "data modified on free list" errors.
at least true w/ tftp and nfs traffic between two different
endianess machines.
>Fix:
dunno.
