I have been told that ipfilter has some kind of licence
agreement, that requires all code-changes to be aproved
by the ipfilter-guy. 

This is supposed to be the reason why OpenBSD made 
PF(PacketFilter), insted of implementing ALT-Q and other 
functionality into IPF.

This is probably useless information since the problem,
most probably lies in FreeBSD's implementation of IPFilter,
and not the IPFilter program it self.

None the less, It might be more interesting than spam :P
