I'm not sure if the problem I'm seeing is caused by OpenVPN or some code change related to ifconfig. Or perhaps both are to blame. When I open an OpenVPN connection in tap mode the openvpn process creates tap0 inteface and assigns an IP address to it. If I now do ifconfig tap0 it displays the information correctly. Now, when quit the openvpn session, the tap0 interface still stays there but it has not address. If I now try see the status of it with ifconfig it dumps core. From tap0, ifconfig manages to display the inet6 line and then it receives a segementation fault. If I restart the openvpn process, the tap0 interface works but ifconfig tap0 still dumps core. An example: OpenVPN is running: % ifconfig tap0 tap0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::2bd:9ff:fe7c:100%tap0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 inet 128.214.182.158 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 128.214.182.191 ether 00:bd:09:7c:01:00 Opened by PID 584 Now, I've terminated PID 584 (openvpn) % ifconfig tap0 tap0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::2bd:9ff:fe7c:100%tap0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) ifconfig tap0 I remember that ifconfig didn't dump core when my laptop ran CURRENT from a few months ago.
