Solved.  Previous to 4.5 rc.conf required:
ipfilter_program=3D"/sbin/ipf -Fa -f"
ipnat_program=3D"/sbin/ipnat -CF -f"

Whereas Post 4.5 only:
ipfilter_program=3D"/sbin/ipf"
ipnat_program=3D"/sbin/ipnat"

is required to start ipfilter and ipnat.

With 4.8 _and_ the flags all packets were passed regardless of the rules
and ipfstat showed no packets blocked.  Without the flags everything
seems to work as before.

John.
