 Ok, well let's reopen this. I just upgraded to 4.10-RELEASE-p3 just to
 make sure I didn't fsck up somewhere, and it seems like I can reliably
 repeat the issue;
 
 FreeBSD got.zerouptime.ch 4.10-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE-p3 #0:

 got# ls -l `which gifconfig`
 -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  11432 Oct  6 18:08 /usr/sbin/gifconfig
 
 got# ls -l `which ifconfig`
 -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  280788 Oct  6 18:05 /sbin/ifconfig
 
 The corrupted part in the gifconfig remains the same ("physical address z=
 =B8P=D5  -->")
 apparently.
 
 And the ifconfig output is still empty, too.
