  Thanks so much for looking at it Julian, I never could get my  
netgraph module to unload, out of frustration I replaced the  
interfaces if_input routine with my own. I don't share this interface  
with the host's stack, so this measure seems appropriate.

  Now I have to grab about 10Gb of ram for a data structure.. I hope  
that's just tuning.
