This seems to happen at the removal of a IPsec policy. Some data: kernel 2.6.6. with Netfilter POM IPSEC-patches, ipsec-tools 0.2.3. If I read the code correctly this would mean that the garbage collector tries to stop an earlier deactivated timer. (del_timer returning '0') Does anybody know what causes this? And, is a kernel BUG not a bit too drastic for this error condition? Wouln't a WARN_ON suffice? Thanks in advance, Greetings, Ludo Stellingwerff. PS.
