Great, now update to -stable now and the remaining problems willl go away, and you will also be heading off some problems you haven't yet seen. You are now seeing the infamous 'arp' bug, which is fixed in all newer versions of FreeBSD after 2.1R. Get the stable bits (or at least a newer copy of /sys/netinet/in_rmx.c) and life will be good.
