See URL https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=322 for the details and the patch of the netfilter team for solving the problem. Please apply the patch to next release of the kernel. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
The patch is not yet merged into Linus's tree, and I can't find where the netfilter tree is maintained. Would like to have confirmation that it has been merged first.
Still not included. Please test vanilla-sources-2.6.12_rc4 to ensure it has been fixed in Linus' tree.
I checked linux-2.6.12-rc4.tar.bz2 from kernel.org and the netfilter patch is *not* included!
Try building and booting the kernel and checking for the problem. It may have been fixed another way.
