shorewall post-int hangs on sarge

["Colin Ingram" <synergymus@gmail.com>]

I use sarge and when I recently tried to install the most recent update
to shorewall( v2.2.3-2) my system hangs when trying to configure
shorewall. ps shows the postins script zombified.

colin@Alfalfa:~$ ps axfw

I tried downgraded and the same thing occures.  Shorewall scripts seem
to be working fine.  Has anyone else had this problem?  Should I submit
a bug report?
