Are you sure?
I think the script will either find a rule for this table and happily 
stop after that or it will call the awk script on the output of ipfw 
show, listing all rule numbers, until it finds an empty spot.

And I think actionstart will remember the fact that there was a rule for 
the given table: if yes it will not write the rule number into 
startstatefile and thus actionstop will not remove the rule.


Best regards
