"fwstop" is quite different from "fw unload localhost." The first terminates fwd, fwm, fwalert and any other associated FW-1 processes (security servers) and removes the kernel module. It's just a script so you can read through it. The latter simply unloads the current applied policy from the localhost and leaves fwd running with no policy.
