} Looks like gpt isn't running dkctl after destroying the GPT,
} probably neither after creation or recovery.

     I recently changed gpt(8) to not run dkctl when it isn't
needed.  Ideally one would not be destroying a GPT that contains
active wedges.  Creating a GPT does not change what partitions
exist.  It does run dkctl after recover.
