>Description:
If IPSTEALTH is enabled in the kernel (options IPSTEALTH) and the sysctl is
set to 1, any attempts to use a bpf driven application such as dhclient will
result in the machine locking up.

I've tried tracing the lockup but it just spins around and around and I can't
get a decent trace to give as it keeps cycling in the same functions over
and over.
>How-To-Repeat:
In your kernel, enable ipstealth:

options IPSTEALTH

Tweak the sysctl option:

sysctl net.inet.ip.stealth=1

Run dhclient on any interface:

dhclient dc0
>Fix:
Unsure. It may just be my own stupidity, but this definitely did not happen
in 4.5-*
