em(4) device still 'freezes' on latset CVSup'd 6.x ...

[Marc G. Fournier]

Also, as an aside ... 6.x em(4) still isn't sending up the arp broadcasts, 
so IPs moved from one machine to this one aren't having their routes 
appropriately updated ... again, please note, that moving an IP from any 
machine to a *non* em(4) interface does update the routes properly and 
instantly ...
