>Description:
When adding IPv6 firewall rules without specifying a set rulenumber,
'ip6fw' incorrectly lists the new rule as being added as number 0000
even though it is added under a different rulenumber.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Enable the IPv6 firewall service
2. Add any rule without specifying a number.
     Example: `ip6fw add allow tcp from any to any`
   ip6fw reports the rule being added as 0000.
3. Execute `ip6fw show`. The rule will have been added as 0100, assuming
   the ruleset was flushed. No matter if it was, the rule will have been
   assigned a correct number different from 0000.

However, executing `ip6fw add 100 allow tcp from any to any` during (2)
produces output as expected.

This incorrect behavior is _not_ displayed on plain IPv6 ipfw on sparc64.
I had no architectures readily available to see if all this was platform-
specific.
	
>Fix:
Unknown.
