So far I have had 0 (zero) reports of problems since this thread began. Could people using uid/gid/jail rules with ipfw or pf on 7.x *please* try running their firewalls without debug.mpsafenet -- ignore the witness warnings and/or disable witness, and let us know if you experience deadlocks. We're reaching the very end of the merge cycle for 7.0, and I would really like to remove the Giant crutches (now effectively unused) from the network stack so it's not part of the ABI/API, the code is simplified and cleaned up, etc.


does "problem" include a LOR message, or only a deadlock?
I've seen plenty of the first, but not the second.
