Hello,
with recent kernels I'm seeing this BUG - triggered by racoon - at boot:

It looks like a bug I reported a while ago[1] and which was fixed by Eric. The
fix is still in place, but the bug has resurfaced recently, probably in .33.
It's quiet elusive, i.e. it happens maybe once every 5 boots; restarting racoon
doesn't seem to trigger it...
