freebsd stable - Feb 2008 - packet loss with re(4)

With FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE, I'm finding significant packet loss  
(sometimes 85%).
If I insert an Intel nic (fxp), there is nil packet loss with similar  
tests (ping -c 100).

re0: <RealTek 8168/8111B PCIe Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xc800-0xc8ff  
mem 0xf9fff000-0xf9ffffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci1

I have seen a thread on current mentioning similar problems:

Perhaps the recent MFC's for re helps?
see 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/re/if_re.c

I have just upgraded my machine[1] to the latest 7-stable,so it is still
too early to tell if re(4) is stable now.
