Ok, I've moved the vpn-bridging service to a server without pf, and now
it seems to work correctly.

I maintain that this issue would need to look into, anyway...
I don't think that a system freezing is acceptable, even when the 
administrator
makes some configuration mistakes: the o.s. should complain about
"routing or ethernet loop", without leaving him wondering...
(how can I find them, anyway?)

Thanks for your help.
