Just a heads up that my gateways, which used to deadlock every 2-3 days are now
stable, and have been running solidly for 2-3 weeks.  This is on 2.6.7, after
applying two patches.  The first is already included in 2.6.8-rcx, and is
the tcp-option bug described here:

http://www.netfilter.org/security/2004-06-30-2.6-tcpoption.html

The second is Patrick McHardy's FTP locking fix, documented here:

http://lists.netfilter.org/pipermail/netfilter-devel/2004-June/015719.html

Hopefully the FTP locking patch will be forwarded for inclusion in mainline
soon.  Patrick?
