I'm also having problems with re's, in my case the interfaces take about
10 seconds to come up, if they come up at all.  After the interfaces are
up, half the time no packets go out at all.  Usually it helps to bring
them down via the console, wait about 10 seconds, and then bring them up
again...

These are the following variant:

And just FYI, r187080-r187083 that you recently committed (MFCs of
r184240-184243, r184245, 185575 and r186390), don't seem to change
anything for this situation. :(
