CURRENT: ifconfig tap0 results in core dump

[Peter Edwards]

Yes, this most likely will make ifconfig work with minimum fuss, but
the underlying problem is the bogus data it's getting from the kernel:
the kernel patch should fix it by avoiding that circumstance.

There are similar tests elsewhere in ifconfig, though, so it's
probably reasonable to add this too, I suppose.
