Hello everybody,

 I just managed to lock my box and I want to report it
in case it's known(or it helps in some way). It is a
6.2-STABLE from March 13. The procedure that triggers
the lock is simple:

1) Create a pptp tunnel.
2) Set is as your default gateway.
3) Play a bit with the netmask of the physical inteface.
In my case doing a few times:
ifconfig fxp0 192.168.1.71/16
ifconfig fxp0 192.168.1.71/24
locks the box.

It's the GENERIC kernel along with:
nik:0:~$ kldstat

12    1 0xc38fd000 2000     ng_tcpmss.ko
13    1 0xc38ff000 4000     ng_pptpgre.ko
14    1 0xc3903000 4000     ng_ksocket.ko

Anybody with a more recent -STABLE can confirm that
the problem is still there? or not?
Any thoughts before updating my /usr/src?

Thanks in advance, Nikos
