 Hi,
 
 I had the problem too, and could confirm the fix.
 
 FreeBSD ********.arcor.net 8.3-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p2 #1: Tue
 Jun 12 09:06:31 CEST 2012  =20
 root@********.arcor.net:/usr/src/sys/amd64/compile/GENERICfib  amd64
 
 However, the fix ONLY works if using ifconfig ... fib N to set the fib
 for an interface, and not the FreeBSD 7.x method to assign the FIB via
 ipfw rules. Just thought I should mention this - in our case, the
 ifconfig way is the better choice anyway.
 
 Best regards,
