Just to confuse you even more... a cvsup to FreeBSD 4.7-PRERELEASE #1: Mon Sep 9 12:39:59 BST 2002 ............ and it worked fine! My guess is there was some sort of "hidden" route jammed in the routing table that must of been cleared when I rebooted. I can't see any reason for it to be a change in the code!! Who knows - at least it works now!
