Hello,

In today's FBSD Stat Report, Max Laier said, in part:

>FreeBSD 5.3 is the first release to include PF. It went out okay, but
>   some bugs were discovered too late to make it on the CD. It is
>   recommend to update `src/sys/contrib/pf' to RELENG_5. The specific
>   issues addressed are:
>     * Possible NULL-deref with user/group rules.
>     * Crash with binat on dynamic interfaces.
>     * Silent dropping of IPv6 packets with option headers.
>     * Endless loops with `static-port' rules.

Because everything seems to be fine with my ruleset on 5.3p2, I won't
be moving to -STABLE, but I won't reformat my (currently mothballed) 
former OBSD firewall box for a while longer.

HTH,

stheg
