The machine crashed again, and this time I ran ps in ddb. It shows
pfctl running on one CPU, and the incoming packet being handled by
another:
db> ps
pid ppid pgrp uid state wmesg wchan cmd
99941 99922 99920 0 R CPU 3 pfctl
...
100028 Run CPU 0 [irq256:
bce0]
...
The backtrace was the same as the last one.
I guess this means that disabling SMP would fix the problem as a quick
workaround, but there's probably something wrong with the locking when
updating the tables.
