DragonFlyBSD

I cannot reproduce this on 1.9-DEVEL. Does this problem persist?

Don't know, is DEVEL stable enough for me to try? Just asking because I can only try this on aproduction machine. If yes, then I'll post feedback on this next week.

Ah, don't worry. Does it persist on 1.8-RELEASE?

cheers

Since the number of matches keep increasing on each information query, I suspect that this is actually an error in query/response to it, maybe there are actual states (any way to check that?)

As this bug has been marked as a blocker for 1.10, and I am the
reporter, I would like to rephrase my last question:

Is there an actual way to get whether new states are actually created?
You can supply me a patch that e. g. writes a log entry after having
created a state or does a notification in a different way, it just has
to be kernel-level, since the only problem may be that PF fails to
report state info back to userland if a flush has been done.

If states get created just pfctl and pftop cannot retrieve this
information, I consider the issue a minor annoyance (and not a release
blocker in any way), since it does not impair PF's actual work.

anyone still experiences this issue?
Should be long solved since it used to be a blocker for 1.10-RELEASE ;)

pf was recently updated in master, does it fix this issue?
