>Description:
Upgrading from 7.1-RELEASE to 7.2-PRERELEASE as of Apr 2nd caused to system  hangs on incoming PPTP connection.
No panic, no dumps. Just plain frozen everything (network, console, etc).

I am using MPD4 for incoming PPTP sessions with minimal tweaks.
Two external internet links.
Outgoing sessions are perfect.

For incoming sessions I used to try following PF rules:
pass in quick on $uts_if reply-to ( $uts_if $uts_gw ) inet proto gre from any to $uts_addr keep state
pass in quick on $vpn_if reply-to ( $vpn_if $vpn_gw ) inet proto gre from any to $vpn_addr keep state

This doesn't work at all in 7.1-RELEASE (gre packets always got routed to default route), but could trigger the problem in 7.2-PRERELEASE.

Kernel config attached
>How-To-Repeat:
use two external interfaces, with NAT.
mpd4 set up for incoming clients using PPTP
PF set up to reply packets go back via the same interface (TCP/UDP/ICMP/GRE)
Default route points to one of the interfaces.
Kernel has 
options         ROUTETABLES=4
But this tables are not used in no way.

>Fix:
Workaround - deny incoming PPTP. :(
