The revision 1.120 of src/sbin/ifconfig broke this:
"cvs update -D '2006/07/09 06:00:00'" gives us ifconfig binary
what works and "cvs update -D '2006/07/10 00:00:00'" gives one
that fails. The commit deals with interface cloning.

Now I'm looking for the fix. This is POLA issue and such regressions
should not be tolerated, there are already too many of them.
