These options may change structure sizes, function parameters, etc. and that easily causes panics. hmm I wonder if my instructions to build SIFTR manually are causing your problems. Fabian, is the siftr.ko module you're loading built as part of a "make buildkernel", or did you follow my instructions and "cd /sys/modules/siftr ; make ; kldload ./siftr.ko"? If the latter is true, perhaps try and explicitly build SIFTR as part of "make buildkernel" and see if loading the module built that way still triggers the panic when enabled (the module will be in /usr/obj//sys//modules//sys/modules/siftr/siftr.ko or if you "make installkernel" it'll be in /boot/kernel/kernel/siftr.ko).
