This is a nice bug.  What ccdioctl does wrong is passing cpp[i] to
dk_lookup, because it's a userspace pointer and dk_lookup does ND_INIT()
on it with UIO_SYSSPACE.  My tentative explanation is that the kernel
sometimes sleeps when resolving the first name, and when it comes back,
the userspace is different and UIO_SYSSPACE will not have the effect of
having the relevant pages replaced with the correct ones.  And as those
pointers come from argv[], they're unlikely to ever fault.  I might be
completely wrong about how the second component is corrupted, but the
UIO_SYSSPACE part is a bug nonetheless.

There are 3 users of dk_lookup:  ccd, cgd and raidframe.  cgd is in the
same situation as ccd, I'm unsure about raidframe.

If you don't use the latter, can you try simply changing UIO_SYSSPACE
into UIO_USERSPACE in dev/dksubr.c:dk_lookup()?
