Kernel Panic

Hi Kristo,

It's just the master that crashed, the backup can take over.

We think the panic we got by compiling with witness and invariant may be 
a red herring.

We are now looking rules like

nat on $isp_if from <napts> to any -> <external_napts> sticky-address

if we replace the external_napts table with a single address rather than 
a block of addresses the box does not crash.

We are following this line of investigation at the moment.

Regards
Joe Jones
