 I've reproduced the same behavior on an rl(4) interface on my laptop, but it 
 only occurs if rl0 uses DHCP (and thus dhclient).  If I statically configure 
 rl0 then I can add aliases no problem.  Perhaps when an alias is added and 
 the chip is reset, dhclient thinks that the link has reset and tears down the 
 lease or something.
