If memory serves me in our case the stock ipfilter crashed when our
application actually tried sending data through an IPSec tunnel.
There were also various other problems.

Switching to IPF 4.1.3 and spending time fixing various issues produced
a solution that actually works in our environment where the stock solution
did not.

It all depends on what you need to do.  If your needs are met by the stock
solution, then by all means stick with it.
