I'm managing my machine over hme0. I create the bridge, put hme0 in it, and
bring it up (without ipf) and things are fine. As soon as I put hme1 (which is
ifconfig down, no IP address, no link) into the bridge my connections to the
host hang. This is NetBSD-current/sparc64 on an Ultra10.
My -current/i386 box work as expected....

...and I can stay logged in after I bring the bridge up. I'm pretty sure it
worked that way on my sparc64 box too, but it's possible my testing predated my
Sparc5/sparc(32) to Ultra10/sparc64 upgrade.
