Given:

5 ethernets ... 1 on-board intel, one quad adaptec tulip

ifconfig eth0 <addr1 mask1>
ifconfig eth1 <addr2 mask2>
ifconfig eth2 <addr3 mask3>
...
ifconfig eth4 <addr5 mask5>

ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth1 down
ifconfig eth2 down
ifconfig eth3 down
ifconfig eth4 down

# skip eth0
ifconfig eth1 <addr2 mask2>
ifconfig eth2 <addr3 mask3>
ifconfig eth3 <addr4 mask4>
ifconfig eth4 <addr5 mask5>

# Oh, I forgot to do eth0!

ifconfig eth0 <addr1 mask1>

# HANG, no ping, no kbd, no nothing, good night.

Completely repeatable.
