SIOCGIFADDR broken on 9.0-RC1?

Hello list,

more insights since my last post. Here is a small code to trigger the bug (end of email).
When you run it on 9.0-RC1, it gets an alias address instead of the main inet address:

% ./get-ip re0          
inet: 192.168.2.10
# Main address being 192.168.1.148

On 8.2-RELEASE, all goes well:
% ./get-ip re0
inet: PUBLIC_IP4

Is something broken, or a behaviour has changed since 8.2-RELEASE?

Best regards,

   memset(&ifr, 0, sizeof(struct ifreq));
   strlcpy(ifr.ifr_name, argv[1], sizeof(ifr.ifr_name));

   if (ioctl(fd, SIOCGIFADDR, &ifr) == 0) {
      sa = (const struct sockaddr_in *) &ifr.ifr_addr;
      printf("inet: %s\n", inet_ntoa(sa->sin_addr));
