>Description:
When machines configured with ipfw receive a packet that would be 
denied, the kernel panics.  The problem also exists in 3.0 snap, but not
in 2.1.x
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile ipfw support into the kernel and do something like this:
ipfw -f flush
ipfw add allow all from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to any
ipfw deny icmp from any to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
ping freebsd.org
  Upon receiving the returning icmp packet, the kernel will bomb.
>Fix:
unknown.  A workaround is to not deny packets.
