>Description:

I ran ntpdate on an amd64 system with ipv6 enabled and a skewed clock
(ntpdate stepped it back by about an hour), and immediately got a
use-after-free panic in ifaddr.  When I rebooted with memguard enabled
on this malloc type and retried, I got this panic upon changing the
date forward, then back, then forward again (also note the garbage
return data from ntpdate):

Unfortunately I can't dump on this system, but:
