--- Comment #2 from Kyle Evans <kevans@freebsd.org> ---
I've thrown up a review to just let the rename succeed if the name isn't
changing, because I think EEXIST is perhaps misleading:

For the "system hang" -- is it just the destroy command that's hanging? Dou=
ble
check that `ifconfig tap0` doesn't claim "Opened by PID ...", as the
controlling process needs to properly release (close) the tun/tap device be=
fore
the interface can be destroyed.
