Robert,

After update to r195705 my system panic every time i try to create a new 
vlan (but i can create a gif interface):

# ifconfig vlan0 create
panic: link_elf_load_file: unexpected progbits type
cpuid = 1
KDB: enter: panic
[thread pid 1023 tid 100136]

(hand transcribed - i've just an usb keyboard here)

My kernel don't have any VIMAGE options.

The system is working flawless before the upgrade.

If you need any/more information about this, just let me know.

Regards,
Luiz
