I never said that ipfilter was in any way broken, just that I was
experiencing problems running it since moving to a 6.1 server.  My
apologies for not making myself clearer.

Very well, here is some more information but I am not about to post my
entire ruleset on a publicly searchable mailing list

The 165.x.x.x IP address is from an ADSL line I was using to
troubleshoot the problem (I was the only person using the line so it
made tcpdumps etc easier to read, less noise).

In our environment the problem was easily resolved by disabling SACKS on
the Windows 2003 servers behind my firewall (something I have just
finished testing).  But I would still like someone to please point me in
the right direction insofar as updating IPFilter to 4.1.13 under FreeBSD
6.1 as this solution is not to my liking.
