>Description:
after killing dhclient and changing the IP address of the hme0 interface,
I noticed packets still continue to originate from the old address.
unsurprisingly, those connections fail. connections to the new address
work fine.

the machine has been left in this state overnight and the problem still
persists.

tcpdump shows packets originating from the old address, ifconfig reports
the new address correctly.

the workaround is to reboot.

>How-To-Repeat:

from the old address.
