Reliability Fix relating to CARP, VLAN's and network load

Contributed by grey on 2004-07-27 from the patching makes perfect, or at least better dept.

Thanks to Brad Smith for the heads up on this fix from yesterday:

Under a certain network load the kernel can run out of stack space. This was encountered in an environment using CARP on a VLAN interface. This issue initially manifested itself as a FPU related crash on boot up.

As always, you can find this listed on http://www.openbsd.org/errata.html. Patches can be downloaded for 3.4 and 3.5.
