Hello,

It seems that:
1) if I assign an IP address to an interface
2) get an arp mapping via this interface
3) remove the IP address from the interface

arp fails to remove this arp entry when
arp -d is used

lab# ifconfig rl0 192.168.254.30
lab# ping 192.168.254.254

This is from a few days old -current. I just noticed
this somehow strange behavior, but I don't really know
if it's old or new.
