Description
If you run "ipfstat -t" from tcsh or bash, then the shell also terminates when you press 'q' to leave ipfstat.(ipfstat -t shows the contents of the state table for the  ipfilter firewall). ksh and zsh are not affected by this problem.

1. Start bash
2. ipfstat -t
'q' to quit

The bash shell will also terminate.

The interesting thing is that if you nest several bash shells and then call ipfstat, they will all be terminated when you press 'q'!

We have this bug with Solaris 10 with Intel and sparc platforms.
We encounter the problem when ipfilter patch 125015-03 is applied too.
Work Around
Run ipfstat -t from a ksh or sh.
