>Description:
ifconfig ed0 192.168.0.21 

results in instantaneous death of FreeBSD running
as a AMD64 guest on Parallels Desktop.  Desktop
offers to send a bug report to Parallels, which I did.

There are no error messages from FreeBSD.  Desktop does not
give it a chance to output anything.

I do not think FreeBSD is at fault in this bug. There is most likely a problem
with Desktop.

An i386 guest compiled with the identical /usr/src works perfectly.

I submit this report in the hope that someone skilled in Kernel debugging will
be able to nail down the exact instruction that is causing the problem.

Version Information:
 /usr/src checked out using RELENG_8 tag. CVSUPed on October 2 2009 at 21:00 UTC (approx).

Parallels Desktop 4.0 Build 4.0.3846

Host: OS X 10.6.1 (Snow Leopard)
Intel Core 2 Duo
>How-To-Repeat:

ifconfig ed0 192.168.0.21

Desktop is set-up for Bridged Networking. It is emulating a 
RTL8029 Ethernet chip. ed0 is its freeBSD driver.
