i debugged this problem this far:

	- not only does sleep(3) not return, _nothing_ times out.  select(2)
	and poll(2) are similar affected.  ipfilter NAT table grows without
	bound.  there's more... this is all caused by...

	- the callout table is never run, which is turn is caused by...

	- "softclock()" never running...

i never figured out why softclock wouldn't be called.  it *is* scheduled
by hardclock but the interrupts for it never seem to come in.
