Synopsis: >1000 ipfw rules and heavy traffic crash the system State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: luigi State-Changed-When: Mon Sep 3 13:25:17 PDT 2001 State-Changed-Why: This report basically says that when the system is in livelock conditions it might crash. This does not seem specific to the ipfw code -- the kernel is full of places where you can have potentially very time consuming processing procedures at various priorities (or, while holding locks) and cause havoc to the system. If this report identified a specific problem, i'd have no problem in fixing it, but there is just nothing evident here. This is why I am closing this PR.
