I got the following hand-transcribed panic maybe a second after
sysctl net.inet.siftr.enabled=1

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
cpuid = 1; apic id = 01

This is from the third attempt, the second time I got a different
backtrace that also contained some *_iwn_* functions, the first
time I had X running, so I didn't get anything. Unfortunately
at that point the system seems to be too busted to dump core.

I'm using:

I'm not using vanilla sources, but none of the modifications
should matter here.

I have powerd running and did not yet try without it.

The system has bge0 and iwn0, but bge0 is mainly down.

pf is compiled into the kernel, siftr is loaded as a module.

The panic seems to occur without logging a single packet first:
fk at r500 ~ $cat /var/log/siftr.log 
enable_time_secs=1276966161     enable_time_usecs=945080        siftrver=1.2.3  hz=100  tcp_rtt_scale=32        sysname=FreeBSD sysver=900014   ipmode=4
enable_time_secs=1276966586     enable_time_usecs=314023        siftrver=1.2.3  hz=100  tcp_rtt_scale=32        sysname=FreeBSD sysver=900014   ipmode=4

I get the impression that this is reproducible, but only tried
three times (the last time with everything mounted read-only).
