Subject: LInux kernel 3.0 sit creation bug report

Kernel 3.0 (release version)
Summary:  sit tunnel creation fails with "No buffer space available"

Example:

icebox:/home/u/jsr(3)# /sbin/ip tunnel add sit0 mode sit local 216.111.203.89 remote 209.51.18.1 ttl 255
add tunnel sit0 failed: No buffer space available

icebox:/home/u/jsr(8)# /sbin/ifconfig sit0 inet6 tunnel ::209.51.18.1
SIOCSIFDSTADDR: No buffer space available

Notes:

Oddly, the ifconfig example creates a working sit0.  The "ip" example
does not.  The problem existed in rc1 but unfortunately I did not test
sit creation then.  This was discovered when I upgraded a machine with
an HE tunnel to the 3.0 kernel.  I am happy to do further testing or
provide whatever additional info I can.

Environment:
