ipfw broken with bridge under 5.x (5.3 and 5.4)

It appear that ipfw doesn't work with bridge in 5.3 and 5.4.  The
symptoms are that the bridge stops forwarding packets altogether,
for me a few minutes after it is set up.  It takes a

# net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=0 && sleep 5 && net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=1

to get it back up and running, which it does, but only for a few
minutes before it stops working again.  The five second sleep is
sometimes too long, and sometimes not enough time.

Would someone in the know be able to help me to trouble shoot it? (I'm
scared of ipfw! :).

Thanks!
Joe
