vde2 tap brings down external networking

I'm trying to network a couple of qemu vm together and to the outside
world. After much pain and gnashing of teeth I found a setup that works
temporarily. I start both vm's with a command similar to this:
vde_switch -hub -tap /dev/tap0
chmod -R 666 /var/run/vde.ctl
vdeqemu -vga cirrus -localtime -hda linux-boot-0.img -hdb linux-boot-1.img \
-hdc linux-data-0.img -hdd linux-data-1.img -m 392 -boot c -kernel-kqemu
ipfw divert and natd are present.
ifconfig looks like this:
midco# ifconfig

once I add tap0 to bridge0 I have only a few minutes to access my external
network. Once it goes down, I am unable to revive via normal methods eg
/etc/rc.d/netif restart && /etc/rc.d/routed restart. Anything going to
external network timeouts, but tap/vm stuff is great. Even destroying
vm's/bridge/tap and bringing everything up doesn't restore networking, I
have to reboot. netstat -nr looks the same before and after.
midco# netstat -nr

/var/log/messages only had arp stuff relating to bridge which I suppressed.
Thanks,
PS bring up qemu networking in multicast mode to achieve this hangs my cable
modem.
