The following reply was made to PR kern/161692; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Brett Glass <freebsd-prs@brettglass.com> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: kern/161692: Error in IPFW code halts kernel compile in 9.0-BETA3 Date: Sat, 15 Oct 2011 16:05:26 -0600 Additional notes: It appears that to make this bug crop up, the kernel option IPFIREWALL_FORWARD must be set, along with the option IPFIREWALL. As a temporary workaround, I have added an assignment which sets the variable "len" unconditionally to zero immediately after its definition. However, since I do not know the code well, someone who is more familiar with the code should make sure that this does not mask a serious bug.
