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.
