ipfstat bug on Solaris 10?

Has anyone seen wonky output occasionally from ipfstat?

I have a Tripwire check that looks at ipfstat -ion and
every once in a while it would flag.  I'd look at what it
captured and it would be like it doubled up the output, it
would like the normal 46 lines of my ruleset, then keep
going at 47 with another copy.

I wrote a script which duplicated the error in 40 minutes:

#!/bin/bash
#set -x
ipfstat -ion > /tmp/b
rm -f /tmp/attempts
#for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
while true do
do
         ipfstat -ion>/tmp/a
         diff /tmp/a /tmp/b >/tmp/diff-ab
          if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then
                 echo "*** ^G  Diff found!"
                 cp /tmp/a /tmp/ipfstat-a
                 cp /tmp/b /tmp/ipfstat-b
                 exit
         else
                 echo "No diff detected."
         fi
         echo "*" >> /tmp/attempts
         sleep 1
done
