This is a carry over from OpenSolaris/ON.

This is a clone of #254 in case illumos goes with a different solution.

Really been a while since I've done "onu"..., but now again giving it a whirl on oi_151a7 with a freshly built non-debug illumos-gate...

I have two NG zones that now exhibit this same behaviour. Extract from one of them using dmesg et al:

do I have to do something special with my zones after (or during) an onu with a newly built illumos-gate?

BTW/FWIW - auditd is and always been disabled in my NG zones.
