>Description:
I setted a gre tunnel between the netbsd machine a a cisco one. The system was rebooting constantly. After bringing up the tunnel i saw that a route is auto-added like this: route add TUNNEL_DEST_IP TUNNEL_SOURCE_IP. I did a ping TUNNEL_DEST_IP and the system suddenly rebooted. I did a traceroute TUNNEL_DEST_IP and the result was the same. I erase that route and now the problem looks solved.
>How-To-Repeat:
Make a gre tunnel and do a ping to the IP from the other end of the tunnel.
>Fix:
Delete that strange route like this:
route delete TUNNEL_DEST_IP
