Well, lucky me, I no longer need to do this as it looks like the problem was fixed in
13.0-RELEASE-p1 as part of an Errata fixed for "Kernel double free when transmitting on a
divert socket".

I tested with the new kernel and now running natd no longer causes a kernel panic.

My one remaining beef with 13.0 relates to vultr more than anything else in that FBSD
doesn't reboot when requested. It gets into some late-stage of the shutdown process and
just spins on CPU. I can live with this one, but will keep an eye on it.
