alias CARP on re0 from rc.conf results in boot stopping from progressing

Hi all,

I'm trying to add a CARP alias to my up to date 13.3-RELEASE setup. It works fine when it's done after the system is up, using:

ifconfig re0 inet vhid 1 pass password alias 192.168.178.33/24

but if I try doing it at boot time via rc.conf as:

Code: 
ifconfig_re0="inet 192.168.178.35 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_re0_alias0="inet vhid 1 pass password alias 192.168.178.33/24"
defaultrouter="192.168.178.1"

the boot process stops at the line of:
re0: link state changed to UP

and never progresses. I doesn't become unresponsive, I can type, it accepts ctrl+alt+del to reboot, but that's about it.
Weirdly enough, at this point, it responds to ping as well on the main interface/IP.

Extra info:
re0 is realtek, and loader.conf has:

Code: 
if_re_load="YES"
if_re_name="/boot/modules/if_re.ko"

otherwise the network tends to go down in certain cases, but I don't believe it's related.

Anyone has an idea how to debug what the problem is?

You can hit CTRL-C to break it off. Or enable a verbose boot.

Code: 
#rc_debug="NO"          # Set to YES to enable debugging output from rc.d
rc_info="NO"            # Enables display of informational messages at boot.
That might provide some additional clues.
