Most likely because they've changed the way it works.

I haven't gone looking at header files or STREAMS messages yet to see what
is different or wrong in IPFilter's handling of this. The problem for me
with IPFilter is that this is effectively undocumented (except for the
header files) so they're at liberty to change how it works without needing
to worry about compatibility.

I could rant here quite extensively about this issue.
