Jake Luck and I both reported this earlier, and it's any kernel source
1.4T or later that has problems, in my experience. Jake did some more
detailed testing (he sent an email some time last week which should be
in the mailing list's log on mail-index.netbsd.org).

Beyond confirming, I can't say anything more, because I have neither
the clue nor the time to investigate problems with the mesh code
(which clearly exist).

Are those tracking -current not also having these problems? (Dan?
Bill? Etcetera?)
