Modified Files:
        src/sys/netinet [netbsd-6]: rfc6056.c

Log Message:
Pull up following revision(s) (requested by gson in ticket #122):
        sys/netinet/rfc6056.c: revision 1.5
Fix random kernel memory corruption by algo_doublehash().  And by
"random" I don't mean just "arbitary" as in using an uninitialized
pointer, but random as in corrupting the contents of memory addresses
chosen using a crypto-strength random number generator.
I believe this is the likely cause of multiple reports of random
crashes over the last six months, including kern/45677 and kern/46096.
