Actually, different radix tables are used to store both IPv4 and IPv6 in single table.

I'm going to add explicit table type/naming setup soon.
Idea is the following:

1) Existing table can be named and addressed by either number or name.
However, you still need to assign table number manually.

2) Table type/name can be specified explicitly via one of the following commands: * ipfw table 1 create [type <cidr|u32|ifindex|iface>] [name "table_name"]
type "ports" would be nice   but tricky to do right.

* ipfw table <num|name> name "table_name"
* ipfw table "table_name" type <cidr|u32|ifindex|iface>

3) ipfw(8) stops trying to guess appropriate type based on used value. Instead, it requests table type from kernel and interprets value according to returned type.
Default type for all tables is cidr

the guessing was a hack for compatibilty. Its time to stop doing that has definitely come.
(I did it.. sorry)


4) Table(s) can be returned to default values using ipfw table <num|all|name> destroy.
Destroy means:
* flush
* table tries (or other structures) freed
* type set to cidr

I'll try to fix it within a few days.
Fixed in r266310.

The problem itself happens due to the fact that every CIDR table
address is packed into IPv6 address and IPv4 ones are encoded as
deprecated IPv6-compatible ones.
this leads to the problems with decoding things like 0/X or ::1
