I think if you recompile kernel with:

options         IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT

(default is to deny)

 then it will work like pf and ipf.

Think about it, if default is to deny, and you just flushed all the
rules, it did exactlay what you told it to do:  deny all connections by
default.

This also may explain the one thag gets dropped 1% of the time.
