FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE. Occured a strange thing.

Take two boxes with 8.1. Do these:
On #1
ifconfig gif create
ifconfig gif0 tunnel AAA.AAA.AAA.AAA BBB.BBB.BBB.BBB
ifconfig gif0 inet 10.10.1.254 10.10.2.254 netmask 255.255.255.255

On #2
ifconfig gif create
ifconfig gif0 tunnel BBB.BBB.BBB.BBB AAA.AAA.AAA.AAA
ifconfig gif0 inet 10.10.2.254 10.10.1.254 netmask 255.255.255.255

Next, do ping 10.10.2.254 from box #1. Worked!

Now do these:
On #1
ifconfig gif create
ifconfig gif0 tunnel AAA.AAA.AAA.AAA BBB.BBB.BBB.BBB
ifconfig gif0 inet 172.16.1.254 172.16.2.254 netmask 255.255.255.255

On #2
ifconfig gif create
ifconfig gif0 tunnel BBB.BBB.BBB.BBB AAA.AAA.AAA.AAA
ifconfig gif0 inet 172.16.2.254 172.16.1.254 netmask 255.255.255.255

Next, do ping 172.16.2.254 from box #1. Not worked :-O

Replace boxes onto 7.3-STABLE and re-do last sample (with 172.16). Worked!

Why? Is there any problems in 8.1?
