Hi John and Ruslan,
   I agree it is not unique to FreeBSD (I had the same problem on
BSDi).  But John, did you try 'sysctl net.route.netclone=0' ?
I cannot help more than this as I am still running gated on BSDi.
Ken

Yes, it was intentional.  The first hunk of revision 1.67 changes to
src/sys/net/route.c is responsible for this.  This code is now shared
between BSD/OS, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD (in chronological order),
so if there is the problem with GateD, it is not specific to FreeBSD.
