Hi guys,
I've tracked down the problem. It is relate only to FreeBSD, and when  
used in conjuction with InfiniteSource and Discard.  
Click::Packet::~Packet has a bug, since it checks whether data_pointer  
is null, and if yes, calls m_freem. It should call m_freem iff _m is  
not null. So, instead of m_freem being in an else branch, if should be  
in its own if branch.

Cheers,
Nikola
