CARP will not work correctly on vlan(4) on em(4) in RELENG_5, sorry.
The suggested patch is a hack and can't be accepted, since we
have a clean and nice working solution in RELENG_6.

I am running RELENG_6 since mid-summer on my routers utilizing CARP
on vlan(4) interface with em(4) as parent. I suggest to upgrade to
RELENG_6, as well as many other developers and users do. Even
5.5-RELEASE release notes suggest to move to RELENG_6.
