Description

In certain cases pfctl -sc is unable to obtain the list of state creators, and instead results in an error message such as:

System Log / Kernel Message Buffer:

Dec 4 18:49:08 kernel Warning: too many creators!

CLI:

: pfctl -sc
pfctl: Failed to retrieve creators

The output of truss -o creatordebug.txt -f pfctl -sc from an affected system is attached.

The specific circumstances under which this fails have not been determined yet and thus far we have been unable to trigger the error in lab conditions.
