Strange ipfw messages in /var/log/messages

    I have no idea ... it kinda looks like ipfw is trying to log
    something but it's virtually unreadable.  Are you loading ipfw
    as a module?  Maybe the module is out of date with the kernel.

    I am guessing you have 'log' directives in your ipfw.conf 
    somewhere and that the log messages are related to those
    directives.
