Happens to me consistently, and it's very frustrating. I end up doing
"ifconfig iface delete" repeatedly and then redoing the IP addresses. Even
then things don't seem to be quite the same - for example, gated was still
sending RIP packets to the wrong IP even after I redid the IPs and
restarted it.

ifconfig + alias + delete seems to be a fairly shonky combination. :)

Cheers.
