another problem disappeared

another problem disappeared

[Andries.Brouwer]

Recently I muttered a bit about the fact that
with 2.4.0test11 masquerading, the first packet
that was to be forwarded crashes the kernel. Always.
Tonight I wanted to start investigating this more closely,
but to my pleasant surprise 2.4.0test12pre3 does not have
this problem. Progress.

(I am still a bit curious: did other people see this?
Did someone fix a known problem with net(filter) or say /proc?
It would be a pity if this disappeared by coincidence
and appears again next month.)

I didn't have any problems masquerading w/ test11 here. How do you have
it setup?

No problems here, and I've been using various 2.4.0testX for 5
months to do masquerading, without any problems. My firewall 
is running 2.4.0test11 right now, and this mail is going through
it. :-)

Yes, I was on the plane when I read your report, but I can't reproduce
this.  I use masquerading every day (my laptop lives in its own
masqueraded subnet), currently test10:

Linux penicillin 2.4.0-test10 #1 SMP Fri Nov 10 12:31:21 EST 2000 i686 unknown

I've no other reports, and people are using this in production.
That's why it was so puzzling...

Cheers,
Rusty.
