It still runs networking daemons into a frozen zoneli state on
heavy/(D)DOS network loads. Such processes cant be kill-9ed so there is
no way to recover from it. (think frozen sshd and a very remote/headless
server).
See the stress test panic called 'Ran out of "128 Bucket"
<http://people.FreeBSD.org/%7Epho/stress/log/cons210.html>' on the 6.2
todo list and my own latest test here:
http://www.maniacs.se/~junics/temp/vmstat-z.txt
This test was on a new 6.2-RC2 install with no zone limit tweaks nor any
sbsize limits in /etc/login.conf.
I just made a vm disk image with replication instructions, however Peter
Holm have replicated it with his own tools so i have not bothered with
it until now.
