I'm not disagreeing.  I'm saying you and others that have worked in the
routing code are the best judge.

But able to ping 127.0.0.1. :-)

A stock kernel cannot ping 127.0.0.1.  It is claimed there is no route to
127.0.0.1.  David Wolfskill has the same problem, as have others in the
freebsd-current@ mailing list.  I don't know about others, but not being
able to connect to 127.0.0.1 totally breaks my installation.
