Description

The process check_reload_status takes 100% CPU-Load
if the following conditions are given:

Pfsense Relase:
2.1-RELEASE (amd64)
built on Wed Sep 11 18:17:48 EDT 201

WAN is set to
IPv6 Configuration Type [DHCP]

and a
IPv6 DHCP-Server is active which is giving only stateless adresses.

With a high frequency pfsense is requesting dhcp.

We suspect that DHCPv6 is not handled properly;
e.g. replys are only accepted if the statfull-flag is set. The System seems
to reasks the statless dhcp Server with a high frequency forever, therefore
producing high cpu load (100%).

Workaround:
- Disable DHCPv6 or set a static address

(the issue is closed, but without finding a reason for the high cpu-load)
