I get occasional crashes or hangs of an amd64 system that serves as my main gateway, file server, mail server, etc, and uses ipf to do firewalling and NAT between VLANs on a trunked interface. The risk seems to be related to network throughput, and greatly increased if a host behind the gateway runs rtorrent.
I deactivated the bit-torrent "transmission" stuff, and things have been much more stable. I have had one crash/hang since then, but was not able to determine if it was the same situation.
FWIW, I have no NAT, no ipf, or any other packet-manipulation activity on my system. It's a "traditional" totally-exposed publicly-accessible node.
