I've seen FreeBSD reboot when a host route is deleted. This is present in all of the FreeBSD versions that I've used, which is 1.0.2 all the way to 2.2.1-RELEASE. This does not happen all of the time, it seems. Just most of the time. No hang, no panic, just a reboot. :( I do not remember the specifics, but it may very well be that the route has to be entered by hand using 'route add'. It also may have something to do with still having an ARP table entry for it, or not having one. I believe that the ARP entry may have the 'publish' flag set. Like I said, I can't really remember anymore. I just try to not delete host routes anymore.
