It has already been fixed in -CURRENT.

Unless, of course, this is a different bug. I believe the bug you are 
referring to is the one whereby carp doesn't back out of allocations it 
makes on member interfaces correctly.

Mu.

It's unlikely the fix will be MFCed to RELENG_6 because it involves some 
of the changes related to address refcounting which either break the ABI 
or are not conservative enough for -STABLE.
