I take it your second program uses device_set_filter on its own to select
some of the packets.  That should be perfectly valid and both your program
and pfinet should get copies of each packet.

I'd like to understand better exactly what is happening when the kernel
crashes, and I don't think it should be too hard (for you) to figure out
some more essential details.  In this situation, both pfinet and your
program should both be sending and receiving packets.  We need to figure
out what exactly was being done by the code that crashed.  First, by
looking in the mach_msg_trap frame, you can see the whole message header
(do "p/x *kmsg").  Then we can tell whether this is an incoming packet
message being sent by net_packet, or an outgoing packet device_write
message.  Then take a look in the vm_map_copyout frame and examine all the
addresses involved; show us all the local variables there and examine the
pointers.
