:Btw: traceroute crashed vkernel; real kernel didn=B4t crash.

    The vkernel is great for testing anything that uses copyin/copyout,
    because unlike the real kernel process user space is not directly
    accessible by the virtual kernel.  So if copyin/copyout isn't used to
    access it, the vkernel will crash.

    (That's just a guess on my part as to why the vkernel was crashing
    but the real kernel was not).
