>Description:
When a /dev/tun special file is closed, it loses its assigned IP address.  

Looks like it happens near line 467 of if_tun.c (the close routine), but I am not sure exactly where.

>How-To-Repeat:
[root at fb91 ~]# ifconfig tun0 up 10.0.0.103  10.0.0.104
[root at fb91 ~]# ifconfig tun0
tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=80000<LINKSTATE>
        inet6 fe80::7254:d2ff:fe45:e0a0%tun0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 
        inet 10.0.0.103 --> 10.0.0.104 netmask 0xff000000 
        nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
[root at fb91 ~]# cat /dev/tun0
^C
[root at fb91 ~]# ifconfig tun0
tun0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=80000<LINKSTATE>
        nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
