Thank you very much for the attention.

I have:

># The `bpf' pseudo-device enables the Berkeley Packet Filter.
># Be aware of the administrative consequences of enabling this!
>pseudo-device   bpf             #Berkeley packet filter

which I think imposes the default limit of 4.

Anyway, even if I exceed this limit, what I would expect (and always got) was a "no device available"-like message, not
a kernel panic!

 bye & Thanks
        av.
