 Uhm. I guess it's kind of a false alarm, not regression from 8.1 :)

 The problem is this:

 # getent hosts create
 85.128.167.158    create.pl

 so ifconfig sees that gif5 interface exists and so decides I wanted to
 change the IP and resolves "create", gets the IP, and basically executes:

 # ifconfig gif3 85.128.167.158
 ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Destination address required

 IMHO it still should not clear the old address in this case.
