ipfw can't be disabled for IPv56

Running 7-STABLE of April 10, if I disable the firewall ('sysctl
net.inet.ip.fw.enable=0'), IPv4 traffic passes, but IPv6 will not. I had
to add a "allow ip from any to any" rule to get IPv6 to work pass
traffic. (Since I was accessing the system in question via IPv6, this
was a bit annoying!)

Am I missing anything? The rc.subr script for ipfw just sets the sysctl I
did when it stops the firewall.
