If we're referring to the libalias breakage, the story is as follows:
on the 7th, I modified ipfw to use 64-bit packet and byte counters. 
This required an interface change, and unfortunately, required moving
two elements of the structure into a union so that we could fit under
the 108 byte setsockopt() limit.  On the 9th, eivind committed libalias
changes which used the old interface.  This was just unfortunate timing.
