ipfilter problems on overloaded Solaris 9

I have a strange situation....  I had a Solaris 9 system crash today.
The ipfilter rules hadn't been changed since July 21.  At boot, the
proper people could connect via ssh and Oracle ports.  After they
started piling on more Oracle, connections started being refused.
Stopping ipfilter "cured" the problem.  

 

Ipfilter 4.1.29, solaris 9 @ 122300-28

 

Any ideas?
