I have been adding IP addresses to the ethernet interface using
the following:

ifconfig ef0 alias IPADDR

I try to add one more and receive the following error which locks
up the web server (NCSA):

select: Bad file descriptor
Select error 9

I must remove the IP from the interface and restart the web server
to alleviate the error.

Any suggestions would be *greatly* appreciated.
