this afternoon I ran the full-update to beta3 and everythign seemed great... (nice graphs, btw) but then i went shopping etc... came back and had left the system page open and noticed the cpu was pegged at 100% (it's an old machine but normally sits at ~5-25%). and i had checked before right after the upgrade and everything was nominal, cpu, mem, bandwidth, etc...

now i have lots of these in the syslog:
Apr 23 20:37:48 tsmonk dhclient[274]: 5 bad IP checksums seen in 5 packets
Apr 23 20:38:19 tsmonk last message repeated 68849 times
Apr 23 20:40:19 tsmonk last message repeated 305226 times

and top confirms dhclient is the bad guy:

i assume you guys would like me to do some debugging but you'll have to hold my hand through it... A.) i'm not a programmer.  B.) i'm ok at Linux and Windows but a total noob when it comes to the BSDs...  maybe i'll hop on the IRC channel in a few minutes and see if anyone is around who wants to look deeper at it... if no one is around i'll reboot and start playing and poking at it until i fix it or break it... the machine is otherwise running fine but it will melt itself eventually if it sits there with the CPU pegged (i put a fanless heatsink on it to keep it quiet).
