I believe that the carp issue should have been resolved for at least a 
month now. I fixed a similar problem in pfsync.

Also, when reporting this kind of issue please provide the full panic 
message as well as the debugging trace; as well as the date your kernel 
sources are from, just a reminder that backtraces are useless without 
context information.

I probably won't have time to look at this code for a while, however, it 
will help other volunteers to diagnose the problem.

That said, this particular kind of issue is just symptomatic of deeper 
issues with the structure of the code. I would prefer to focus on fixing 
this sort of thing at its source (if I get free cycles to do so), so, I 
will let someone else step up to the podium this time...

Regards,
BMS
