Umm you are thinking of -current maybe? :)  or my -stable must have
had an, errm, interesting problem for quite a while now...

 actually no (thanks cvs :), looks like current is also affected:
struct ip_fw has been extended and when the old ipfw(8) now tries to
add an entry it says, ip_fw_ctl: len=64, want 100

 (hmm i havent looked but maybe the kernel part could be changed to
accept both versions?)
