      Colleagues,

      since the if_em problem was taken as a late showstopper for 6.0-RELEASE,
    I am asking you to help with testing of the fixes made in HEAD.

      Does your em(4) interface wedge for some time?
      Do you see a lot of errors in 'netstat -i' output? Does these errors
      increase not monotonously but they have peaks?

    If the answer is yes, then the attached patch is likely to fix your problem.
    If the answer is no, then you are still encouraged to help with testing
    and install the patch to check that no regressions are introduced. If you
    skip this, then you may encounter regressions after release, so you have
    been warned.

      So, in short: please test! Thanks in advance!

    The patch is against fresh RELENG_6.
