Hi, would someone be available to look at kern PR 87506?  I found the
problem while building a jail on my 6.0-RC1 box.  When setting an alias on
a vr device with ifconfig the alias address replaces the initial address
of the device.  marcus@ took a look at the problem for me and provided the
patch for the vr interface which I tested and it resolved the problem. 
Without the patch I can't create a jail that is network accessible.

Marcus also notes in the PR that the rl, sis, ti, and tl may also be
affected by this bug.  If anyone has any other questions or needs someone
to test any changes to the patch just let me know.  I only have vr
interfaces on my FreeBSD machines though.  Thanks.

Tom
