    The EEXISTS above comes from in.c (rtinit) when one tries to add an
    address in an already existing prefix:
    http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/in.c.diff originally done for my CARP
    port should fix/work around it. Can somebody, please give it a try?

    The code was obtained from WIDE via OpenBSD.
