>Description:
	ifconfig(8) does NOT display the tunnel physical endpoints correctly
	for a GRE interface under certain conditions. this was already fixed in 5.x, see 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=56341
>How-To-Repeat:
	On a FreeBSD built with ipv6-support try to create and configure gre-interface. Then check the output of ifconfig gre<N>. The line, describing the tunnel configuration will be missing.
Like this:
emz at freedom:~%ifconfig gre0 create
emz at freedom:~%ifconfig gre0
gre0: flags=9010<POINTOPOINT,LINK0,MULTICAST> mtu 1476
emz at freedom:~%ifconfig vlan1 add 10.1.0.1/24
emz at freedom:~%ifconfig gre0 10.2.0.1 10.2.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 tunnel 10.1.0.1 10.1.0.2
emz at freedom:~%ifconfig gre0
gre0: flags=9051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,LINK0,MULTICAST> mtu 1476
        inet 10.2.0.1 --> 10.2.0.2 netmask 0xffffffff
        inet6 fe80::20e:cff:fe00:fc9b%gre0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x12
>Fix:

	None known for 4.x, but fix for 5.x was described in http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=56341
