well, actually i didn't find any bugs in libalias that was not
imputable to my work, but i found 2 bugs in other parts of
FreeBSD:

1) kernel panic with ipfw as kld in 5.x and 6.x:

kldload ipfw.ko
ipfw show (the 65k rule will show up)
ipfw add 100 allow all from any to any
ipfw del 100
panic: kmem_malloc: entry not found or misaligned

tested on qemu only 

2) natd crash receiving a SIGHUP

launch natd this way (as root):

/sbin/natd -n <if> -v

where if is your nic

then

sudo killall -HUP natd

natd will core dump

i didn't have time to investigate any further, but if i'm not 
the only one to see them, i can take a look...

bye
