pf causes freeze of amd64 machine on heavy network load

[Björn König]

Hello,

recently I sent a mail to the current mailing list concerning this 
problem, but I figured out that my problem is related to pf.

I have an amd64 machine with 6.0-BETA2 that freezes totally on heavy 
network I/O with activated pf. I noticed that it doesn't occur with 
every ruleset.

This is the output of dmesg; note the KDB backtraces during the attempt 
to load pf.ko and system shutdown:

The following ruleset is neither complete nor optimized; I stopped 
working on it when I noticed that pf doesn't work for me:

Unfortunately the time-frame where I can make tests concerning this 
issue is from now until Monday. I hope someone is able to reproduce the 
error to make further investigations.

Regards Björn
