Humm, I think I'm able to reproduce it.  'tcpdump -i vr0' exposes the problem
most of the times, just before it starts printing received packets to the
console.

Even though, it only seems to happen when the interface is configured with
dhclient...  I haven't been able to crash the kernel with the interface
configured manually, and I have run tcpdump multiple times.  Dunno if there
can a reason behind this, or is just a matter of coincidence...
