Ah HAH.  Once I managed to get this working directly with gifnetisr(),
it was enlightening...  because the problem DOESN'T HAPPEN. 
Instead, it logs this message to console:

Feb 10 20:56:52  /netbsd: gif_output: recursively called too many times(2)

...which I wondered about the first time I looked in if_gif.c;
it's clear someone already thought of this, and set up some
recursion detection to avoid it.  Apparently, this detection doesn't
work with the interrupt deferred.  I'll look into this a little further...
