 I have checked the if_tap.c in the current and stable branches, and was
 thus able to come up with an easy fix:

         bcopy(tp->arpcom.ac_enaddr, tp->ether_addr, sizeof(tp->ether_addr));
  
         tp->tap_pid = td->td_proc->p_pid;
 
 
 After this simple change, openvpn works with multiple tunnels again.
 
 I hope this can be committed.
