The bug is not fixed yet. However, you only need to set
debug.mpsafenet to 0, if you use the "group" and/or "user" filter
parameters in your pf.conf. If you don't need filtering of user/groups,
just leave debug.mpsafenet out of your loader.conf and it's okay.

However, I depend on user/group filtering and had to set
debug.mpsafenet too, so I get the same warning at bootup. I really
don't see any noticeable problems with performance in cause of that,
so you are safe to leave it in. The warning-message is not so bad as
it seems, just don't worry.

HTH,
Frank
