Has anyone any experience of recent IP Filter releases totally hanging the system? As in becomes unresponsive and only a STOP-A will let you generate a crash dump.

Details:
We are using the NAT function but only for it's proxy to make FTP work
Solaris 9
ipf  4.1.13
pfil 2.1.11

A case with the crash-dump sent to Sun, only results in "non-Solaris software, remove it".
Which is not really helpful as we need some kind of software firewall.
What other alternatives are there for Solaris 9 anyhow?

I am compiling 4.1.17 on the hopes that might fix it.
