SubjectRe: IP aliases - non-orthogonal behaviour
Supplementary to that: Apparently after doing this, some software begins
to misbehave. I was communicating with a user at the remote site, via
wall. After playing around with the interfaces 'wall' acquired process
status 'D', and just sat there, presumably bound off inside a
system-call somewhere. A couple of other things started suspiciously
showing the same status.

Back in 2.1.78, messing with the ip-aliases would cause a
kernel-null-pointer-dereferencing panic, and 'D'-status problems on most
processes (especially ifconfig). Now it only seems to be a few processes
affected and no explicit panic or diagnostics are generated.
