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.
