I've had the same message multiple times when my default route would be equal
to the IP number of an interface of the box on a 4.8-REL box.
For instance:
Interface xl0 has IP address 192.168.2.2/24 configured on it locally
Interface rl0 has IP address 10.0.5.1/24 configured on it locally
The default route of the box is set to 192.168.2.2
This would cause a loop displaying the exact error message on the console, and
the box would become dead slow.
This for me was solved by simply typing:
route delete default
