While destroying gif interface, I notice it also removes IPv4

No problem on a FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE #8: Fri Jun 16 17:15:03 CEST 2006.
^^^^^^
You don't happen to have any devfs rules that would cause this?
As a matter of fact, the issue appeared in 6-STABLE on Jul 24 and
is still there. Now devd(8) will invoke "/etc/pccard_ether stop"
when any network interface is destroyed. In turn, pccard_ether
will flush all -inet routes if the rc.conf(5) variable
removable_route_flush
is set to YES, which is its default setting. Previously, this
scenario would take place only when an Ethernet interface was
destroyed.
The question is: Do all the routes really need to be flushed upon
the destruction of an interface?
Ouch. Don't ppp(8), OpenVPN etc. destroy the tun interface they're
using when they exit? Flushing all routes then would be rather
harmful. I'm glad I haven't updated to a newer -stable yet then :-)
