Re[2]: Where is 3.4.33pre1 ??? (Patches for IPFilter 3.4 (ICMP "issue" + recent panics))

Hello,

as far as I remember 3.4.33pre1 was a kinda hot fix addressing a
serious bug on Solaris. So far there seem to be some reports about
problems with 3.4.33pre1 someone faced on Solaris also. Personally I
currently use 3.4.33pre1 on FreeBSD but 3.4.29 on Solaris 8 (Intel)
machine, which has now been up for 97 days without any problems.
