I did it before, have no idea how to interpret it. New entry doesn't
appear.

What bother me that if that's misalighnment or different padding
in application and kernel(?) why it doesn't screwed up when arp
reads entries? Another thing is: I tried to use gdb to check what's 
inside : 
gdb /netbsd
(gdb) target kcore /dev/kmem
/dev/kmem: Invalid argument.
I thought that I saw somewhere how to do it, any pointers will be
appreciated.

Thanks for your interest,
