With an empty ipf.conf file, starting ipnat generates a panic on my LX
with a stock kernel.  This is a (2)virgin 1.4.2 install, 32M, 2nd le
device. Once I add the stock example to ipf.conf(1), it loads up fine.  
I had kind of hoped this would fail generically if it were going to, or do
anything less significant than panic.  I used to use a configuration with
an empty ipf.conf on NetBSD/i386 1.4.1, and it didn't panic (not that
that's relevant, but I cut and pasted the config from the one to the
other) and it also worked on NetBSD/sparc 1.4.1 on an IPX.

Kindly tell me I didn't follow the directions (which I know) and that this
is a known behaviour.  :)
