Hello!

I have problem with aliases after upgrade to 4.6-STABLE. I can not assign 
aliases on any <POINTOPOINT> interface:

# ifconfig cx0
cx0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	inet xxx.xx.xx.182 --> xxx.xx.xx.181 netmask 0xfffffffc 
# ifconfig cx0 alias xxx.xx.xx.179 netmask 0xffffffff xxx.xx.xx.181
ifconfig: ioctl(SIOCAIFADDR): File exists

I tried ppp0 for the simple test and got same results:

# ifconfig ppp0
ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
# ifconfig ppp0 10.0.0.2 netmask 0xfffffff0 10.0.0.1
# ifconfig ppp0 alias 10.0.0.3 netmask 0xffffffff 10.0.0.1
ifconfig: ioctl(SIOCAIFADDR): File exists

Before upgrade I've used 4.5-STABLE, cvsup'ed at 2002-02-15.  If I boot with 
/kernel.old everything works fine:

[...]
# ifconfig cx0
cx0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	inet xxx.xx.xx.182 --> xxx.xx.xx.181 netmask 0xfffffffc 
	inet xxx.xx.xx.179 --> xxx.xx.xx.181 netmask 0xffffffff 

Same with ppp0:

[...]
# ifconfig ppp0
ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	inet 10.0.0.2 --> 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xfffffff0 
	inet 10.0.0.3 --> 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffffff 

What's wrong? Any suggestions?
