pf + pfsync + carp - FreeBSD 5.4

Hello,

I have two firewalls setup as failover using pf + pfsync and carp, and I've been expierencing
kenel panics from pfsync. It seems that every few days the machines reboot.

I noticed that the latest version of pfsync.c under the RELENG_5 branch is 1.11.2.3, which
uses the OpenBSD verison 1.26 (which I've cvs'd up to).

I did some reading, and found some people having similar problems (under OpenBSD and 
FreeBSD RELENG_6), and it looks like some of the fixes happened under OpenBSD version
1.46, which doesn't exist yet under the RELENG_5 branch.

Is there any chance that a newer verison of pfsync.c can be promoted to the RELENG_5
branch?

Please correct me if I'm off on any of this information?

Cheers,

Mike
