=> you have the same address for the tunnel encapsulation and
the tunnel itself. This will give infinite recursive encapsulation
which is detected (in this easy case only) and gives an EIO error
with a log notice like "gif_output: recursively called too many times...".

   I don't know if this is a problem of FreeBSD-4.5" or if it's
   caused by the patches.
   
=> try to set MAX_GIF_NEST (kernel option) to a small value
(default seems to be 1 which is too small for you) and
please cleanup your config (no recursive use of addresses,
/64 prefixes on link, etc).
