Joyent mentioned that very bug to me earlier this afternoon.  During the bringup of LX zones, I didn't cherrypick it from illumos-joyent, and now I remember why... it unravels a larger ball of yarn.

To that end, I'm attempting that unravelling now.  I doubt it'll be backported into r151020, though.  LX is still considered "beta" in 020, and stability of the overall system is why I'm loathe to bring in non-LX fixes for LX problems (as these all are) into a Stable release.

I'm going to cut a bloody release this week.  It has lots of new things in it, and if I'm lucky, it may include these Joyent fixes as well.  If you want to help, get a box up to bloody once I cut the release this week.

Thanks, and sorry I can't be of IMMEDIATE assistance,
Dan
