FreeBSD 12.0 p3, IPs get loaded into the table multiple times, goes on forever

[repcsi]

After my last update to FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE-p3 r345729 - amd64, bruteforceblocker runs forever on loading the IPs from your site. Also in the table file I have duplicates.
grep -c "someIP" /var/db/ssh-bruteforce
9
The main script spawns sometimes 30-40 bruteforceblocker processes and I found out this the hard way when I ran out ouf swap space...
I believe something has changed in the persistent pf table file format as well because now I cant load it if bruteforceblocker writes the IPs in it:
Enabling pf/etc/pf.conf:19: cannot define table robot: Invalid argument
pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded
If I null out the table file it starts up again.

If this is a FreeBSD 12 error it will break bruteforceblocker so a working solution would be nice, or a way to lookup what version of OS the script runs on.

If I have the time I will try to proactively find out what is happening, but until this time I was lacking that kind of time :)
As before contact me if you need more info!
