Hi Joe--

I was playing around with netstat(1) on a recent RELENG_4 machine, and 
noticed something odd.  Apparently, the input packet counter for the 
IPv6 loopback address never gets incremented (even after some pings, 
the input packet count on lo0 is still 0):

bmah-freebsd-0:netstat% ping6 ::1
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) ::1 --> ::1
16 bytes from ::1, icmp_seq=0 hlim=64 time=0.276 ms
16 bytes from ::1, icmp_seq=1 hlim=64 time=0.242 ms
16 bytes from ::1, icmp_seq=2 hlim=64 time=0.239 ms
16 bytes from ::1, icmp_seq=3 hlim=64 time=0.207 ms
16 bytes from ::1, icmp_seq=4 hlim=64 time=0.216 ms
^C
--- ::1 ping6 statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0.207/0.236/0.276 ms

Is it just me?  :-)

Thanks,
