>Description:
There's a memory leak in unresolved ND queue processing, which is
brought into NetBSD during the KAME synchronization work in Mar 2006.
>How-To-Repeat:
Often occurs when the kernel load is very high to queue an incoming IPv6 packet until ND is resolved for the packet.
>Fix:
The following patches plug the leak.
