What about disklabel -r wd1 ?

Funnily enough I had the same behaviour yesterday on a computer which
had a new ipnumber allocated to it, but said ipnumber had not yet been
entered in DNS. I take it xdm/xsm must be doing reverse lookups,
though for xsm to dump core I thought was a bit excessive. Didn't see
any "memory fault" reports though.
