Hi Eugene Grosbein!

The command "ipfw table 1 list" used to format table values
associated with network addresses as 32-bit unsigned integers
until 6.3-RELEASE. Since 6.3-RELEASE, it interprets values
that are greater than 65535 as IP-addresses.
This change breaks many existing applications that expect the format
to be an integer, as it used to be since RELENG_4.
This change is not even documented. So, it breaks POLA and should be
corrected.
How-To-Repeat:
ipfw table 1 add 1.1.1.1 $(date +%s)
ipfw table 1 list
This used to show something like "1.1.1.1/32 1203093427" before change
but now it shows something like "1.1.1.1/32 71.181.191.179" instead.
Confirming. This breaks UNIX-time using scripts for many systems and was
introduced by ``ipfw fwd tablearg'' handling commit to 6.2-STABLE in May
2007.
POLA should be unbroken as far as possible.
