I'm having problems with the getting mrouted 3.8  and the mbone tools
like vat, vic and wb working without locking the system and rebooting.

Running the the vat, vic, sdr ... without mrouted running works fine. The
machine works as it should.  When starting mrouted and running any of the above
except sdr, the system locks almost immediately without anything written
to /var/log/messages or anything pertinent with mrouted -d 3.  I've setup
the kernel to go into diagnostics mode on a kernel error.  This doesn't seem
to happen. What does is the system will lock and in about 30 seconds reboot.

The kernel config info:
options         DDB_UNATTENDED
options         KTRACE                  #kernel tracing
options         DIAGNOSTIC

options         "TCP_COMPAT_42"         #emulate 4.2BSD TCP bugs
options         GATEWAY                 #internetwork gateway
options         MROUTING                # Multicast routing
options         TCPDEBUG

The mrouted.conf looks like:
phyint 130.118.107.53   disable
tunnel 204.119.247.37 207.12.55.99 metric 1
threshold 64 rate_limit 128 
pruning on


netstat -m
201 mbufs in use:
        9 mbufs allocated to data
        2 mbufs allocated to packet headers
        26 mbufs allocated to protocol control blocks
        151 mbufs allocated to routing table entries
        13 mbufs allocated to socket names and addresses
0/10 mbuf clusters in use
45 Kbytes allocated to network (55% in use)
0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines

The only clue I have is that it looks like the network buffers get used heavily
when mrouted is started.  It gets to 75 % usage before the system locks and
further diagnostics aren't possible.  What are users of mrouted using to get
it to work without locking the system on a mbone tool startup?  Thanks
for your help.
