I do remember seeing this problem when developing some systems in vmware 
that the carp interfaces where always in INIT when the system booted. I 
added a small rc script to for the interfaces up using 'ifconfig carp0 
up'  which seemed to make the interfaces come up however if on system is 
unplugged from the network it will automatically put itself into the 
master state until it can talk to the other servers in the carp group.
