blocking udp packets on Solaris 9 9/04 with ipf 4.1.2 seems to be causing a memory 
leak in the kernel.

This can be replicated by running ipf with just the following rule in ipf.conf
block in proto udp all

I have tested this on two different systems running Solaris 9 9/04 (with the 
recommended patch cluster from 17/09) and both display the same behaviour. I have also 
tested this on a server running Solaris 9 4/04 and it does not appear to display this 
behaviour (note this is just a test box to a lot less traffic)

Relevant mdb information from a crash dump with kmem_flags=0x7 is attached.
