RPC and RSH modules

Hello,

The current RPC/RSH modules will kernel panic on 2.6.12.4 if you use 
them *without* the following patch.

(see patch in attach which fixes the kernel panic)

The patch sets timeout to nonzero and sets exp->master = ct  because 
ip_conntrack_expect_related()
does a :

    if (expect->master->helper->max_expected)

This will dereference a NULL pointer and kernel panic if expect->master 
is not initialized.

Because the old conntrack modules did NOT set exp->master = ct, I think 
it would be a good idea to

    BUG_ON(expect->master == NULL);

in the ip_conntrack_core.c at line 827 in function 
ip_conntrack_expect_related() before actually accessing the 
expect->master structure.

Is it please possible to add the following patches (rpc-rsh.tar.gz) to 
the SVN repository of "patch-o-matic-ng".

Thanks a lot.
