Did you post this code to -arch or -audit before you committed it?
Did you discuss these changes with anyone, e.g. on the -ipfw list?
Did you even test the code properly?

1) with these patches, installing the rule "pass ip from any to any
   via lo0" (#2 in my ruleset) causes an immediate panic in
   add_entry() (no core dump yet, but I'm working on it)

2) you've completely broken binary compatibility *again*, without even
   a token attempt at detecting or working around a version mismatch.
